Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Kevin je anglicizovaná podoba írskeho mena Caoimhín, ktoré pochádza zo staroírskeho Cóemgen. Meno sa skladá z prvkov cóem („milý“, „drahý“, „ušľachtilý“) a gein („narodenie“, „zrodenie“), preto sa vykladá ako „milé zrodenie“ alebo „ušľachtilo narodený“. K jeho rozšíreniu prispela úcta k svätému Kevinovi z Glendaloughu.
