kevin

Kevin () is the anglicized form of the Irish masculine given name Caoimhín (Irish pronunciation: [ˈkiːvʲiːnʲ]; Middle Irish: Caoimhghín [ˈkəiṽʲʝiːnʲ]; Old Irish: Cóemgein [ˈkoiṽʲɣʲinʲ]; Latinized as Coemgenus). It is composed of caomh "dear; noble"; Old Irish cóem and -gin ("birth"; Old Irish gein).
The variant Kevan is anglicised from Caoimheán, an Irish diminutive form. The feminine version of the name is Caoimhe (anglicised as Keeva or Kweeva).
