Cevin is a rare and distinctive name of uncertain origin, potentially derived from the Welsh name Cefin meaning "gentle" or "mild". It has been used for centuries and was famously borne by early American settler Cevin Scott. Despite its unusual spelling, it's easy to pronounce and has a pleasant rhythm. While there are no specific characteristics associated with the name, if it is Welsh in origin, it may connote gentleness or mildness.
