Lupin

Meaning of Lupin

The name Lupin, pronounced LOO-pin (/'luːpɪn/), is a unique and evocative choice for boys. Originating from the Latin word "lupinus," meaning "of a wolf," it carries connotations of strength, mystery, and nature. This name has gained some recognition in recent years, partly due to its association with Remus Lupin, a beloved character from the Harry Potter series who embodies wisdom and resilience. While still quite rare in the United States—with only a handful of occurrences each year—it has steadily grown in popularity since 2017. Variations of the name include Lupine, which retains the same wild and natural charm. Choosing Lupin for your baby boy could offer him a distinctive identity linked to both literary heritage and the untamed spirit of the wolf.
