Corvinus is Latin in Origin.
Corvinus is a learned Latin name formed from corvus, "raven," with the adjectival suffix -inus, giving the sense "of the raven" or "raven-like." As a Roman cognomen it signified descent or association with the celebrated Valerian hero Marcus Valerius Corvus, whose legendary combat was aided by a raven - hence descendants bearing Corvinus. The bird's lore lends the name connotations of intelligence, vigilance, and omen-reading.
In classical and Renaissance usage, Corvinus appears with figures such as the Augustan patron M. Valerius Messalla Corvinus and the 15th-century Hungarian king Matthias Corvinus, whose raven-emblem and Corvina library spread the name through humanist Latin. Modern variants include Corvin (Hungarian/Romanian), Korvin (Slavic-influenced), and the cognate Corbin (French/English); a rare feminine form is Corvina. Today Corvinus is uncommon as a given name, chosen for its scholarly polish, avian symbolism, and deep classical pedigree.
Corvinus is about as rare as a name gets. In all, it appears just 5 times, across 5 countries.
