What is the meaning of the name Edvin ?

The baby name Edvin is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈɛdvɪn/ (ED-vin).

Edvin is English in Origin.

Edvin is the Scandinavian and Slavic form of Old English Edwin, from Eadwine (ead "wealth, fortune" + wine "friend"), yielding the sense "prosperous friend" or "friend of riches." Through the sainted 7th-century King Edwin of Northumbria, the name entered medieval hagiographies and chronicles, and the streamlined spelling Edvin became standard in Nordic orthographies and later in parts of Central and Southeastern Europe.

In English the Edwin spelling prevailed, declined after the Norman Conquest, and was revived by 19th-century medievalism; Scandinavian Edvin rose with national romanticism around the same era and remains quietly traditional today. International variants include Edwin (English, German, Dutch), Edvin (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Croatian, Serbian), Edvins (Latvian), and Edvinas (Lithuanian). Short forms and nicknames include Ed, Eddie/Eddy, Edi, and Vin/Vinnie. Feminine counterparts such as Edvina occur rarely.
