Corwin

Meaning of Corwin

Corwin is a spirited name with roots that dance between cozy Old English and timeless Latin. It originally meant “heart’s friend,” evoking loyalty and kindness at every twist of the tongue. At the same time, it hints at the Latin word for crow, corvus, lending a sleek, adventurous edge—as if a friendly crow with a heart of gold had swooped in to claim your little one. Pronounced KAWR-win, it rolls off the tongue with surprising ease. In the US, Corwin has been quietly climbing the baby name ranks, a choice for parents who crave something classic yet boldly unique. It feels like sunshine and stardust, ready to spark stories of courage and joy. This is a name that invites imagination and promises a lifetime of warm adventures.
