Gavin

Gavin is a medieval English and Scottish form of Gawain, itself derived from the Welsh name Gwalchmei, though some scholars connect it instead to an older Breton or Cornish source. The name is most famously associated with Sir Gawain, a knight of the Round Table in Arthurian legend, where he appears as a nephew of King Arthur and an exemplar of chivalry. The name was common in Scotland during the Middle Ages and has enjoyed widespread revival in English-speaking countries in modern times. Related forms include Gawain and the Latinized Gavin variant Gauvain found in French traditions.
