Kevyn is an anglicized spelling variant of Kevin, which derives from the Old Irish name Caoimhín, composed of the elements caomh, meaning gentle or kind, and a diminutive suffix, giving an overall sense of dear little gentle one. The name became widely popular in the English-speaking world through veneration of Saint Caoimhín of Glendalough, a sixth-century Irish monk. Kevyn is used primarily as an alternative spelling, with Kevin, Kevan, and Cavan serving as related forms.
