What is the meaning of the name Corwin ?

The baby name Corwin is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced KOR-win (IPA: /ˈkɔːr.wɪn/ or /ˈkɔrwɪn/).

Corwin is in Origin.

Corwin is an English-language given name derived from a surname with several possible roots. In Britain and America it appears as a variant of Curwen, a Cumbrian family name, and as an Irish-American form of Kerwin/Kirwan. It also overlaps with Corvin, from Latin corvus "raven," and is sometimes treated as an Anglicized cousin of the Welsh Carwyn. As a given name it gained currency in the United States from the 19th century through the fashion for surnames, with a later pop-culture boost from Roger Zelazny's hero Corwin of Amber.

Meanings therefore vary by line: "raven" (via Corvin), "little dark one" (from Irish O Ciardubhain), or, by modern association, "blessed/fair love" (Welsh caru + gwyn). Predominantly masculine today, it has variants and spellings such as Corwyn, Corvyn, Corvin, Kerwin, Curwen, and Korwin; short forms include Cor, Cory, and Wynn.
