Corvin

Meaning of Corvin

Corvin brings together old-world charm and modern flair with a wink—it’s Latin for “raven,” that sleek bird long admired as a symbol of intelligence and transformation (no need to worry, your little one probably won’t start summoning ravens at breakfast). In Hungary, the name conjures the Renaissance grandeur of King Matthias Corvinus’s court, while in ancient Rome it echoes the tale of Marcus Valerius Corvus, who, legend says, was guided by a raven in battle. With its crisp, confident KOR-vin pronunciation, it feels like a whisper of wind through dark feathers—mysterious yet comforting. In the US, Corvin has maintained a quiet but steady presence, landing around the 908th spot with about 16 newborns in 2024, making it distinctive without straying into the realm of the wildly rare. For any little boy with curious eyes and an adventurous spirit, Corvin offers a heritage-rich, inspirational choice that’s both grounded and ready to soar.
