Brevin

Meaning of Brevin

Brevin is a masculine given name of modern Anglo-American coinage, its relatively recent emergence reflecting an era of creative synthesis in late 20th-century American naming conventions. While lacking a direct lineage to established Germanic or Gaelic roots, it may be conceptualized as an innovative conflation of phonetic elements found in Devin or Bryn with the diminutive suffix –in, thereby evoking an impression of concise strength and refined individuality. First recorded in the United States Social Security Administration listings in 1994 at rank 771, Brevin ascended to its highest point—rank 683—in 1998 before experiencing a gradual decline in frequency, culminating in six recorded births and a rank of 918 in 2024; this trajectory underscores both its enduring niche appeal and the mercurial dynamics of naming fashions. Pronounced BREV-in (/ˈbrɛvɪn/), Brevin offers a blend of phonological clarity and understated distinctiveness, making it an appealing choice for parents seeking a name that is simultaneously familiar in form and singular in occurrence.
