What is the meaning of the name Bevin ?

The baby name Bevin is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced BEV-in.

Bevin is Irish in Origin.

Bevin is an English spelling of Irish Bébhinn, earlier Old Irish Bébinn or Bé Binn. The name is built from bé, a poetic Old Irish word for woman, and binn, melodious, sweet-sounding, also used of pleasant speech or music. Its literal sense is therefore melodious woman rather than the often-cited fair lady, which likely reflects later confusion with Irish fionn, white or fair.

In medieval Ireland, Bébhinn appears in genealogical and literary material, including figures connected with the Dál Cais and the family of Brian Bóruma. Anglicized Bevin has been rare outside Ireland and, in modern English-speaking records, sometimes overlaps visually with the Welsh surname Bevan. Irish spellings include Bébhinn, Bébinn, Bé Binn, and Beibhinn; Bevin remains an uncommon feminine given name in the United States.
