proper noun 
  1. (given name, male)
  2. A surname derived from the given name, in Ireland anglicized from its Gaelic equivalents í“ Gí¡bhí¡in or í“ Gí¡ibhí­n.
Etymology: Medieval variant of Gawain, the name of an Arthurian knight, first recorded as Gauvain in France. It is probably of Celtic origin and has been explained as Welsh gwalch "hawk" + gwyn "white". The form Gavin survived in Scotland and spread to other English-speaking countries in the 1960s.
