Aoibhin is Irish in Origin.

Aoibhin is an Irish feminine name rooted in the Gaelic Aoibhín (pronounced roughly “EE-veen”). It derives from Old Irish aoibh, meaning “beauty, delight, or radiance,” combined with the affectionate diminutive suffix -ín, giving senses like “little beauty” or “radiant one.” The form without the fada (accent) is common in English contexts, while Aoibhín is the standard Irish spelling.

The related adjective aoibhinn appears in medieval Irish meaning “pleasant” or “delightful,” and this adjectival form later developed into the given names Aoibhinn and Aoibhín. Personal-name usage has surged since the late 20th century amid the wider revival of Irish-language names, and it is now well established in Ireland and among the diaspora. Variants and close relatives include Aoibhín (with fada), Aoibhinn (cognate form), and Aoibheann (a distinct but etymologically related name). Phonetic Anglicizations such as Aveen or Eveen are also encountered.
