Efin is Yoruba in Origin.
Efin is a rare modern given name with several plausible roots. In a Welsh context, where single f is pronounced “v,” Efin can function as a distinctive variant of Evan/Ifan, Welsh forms ultimately from Hebrew Yohanan (“God is gracious”). This spelling appears sporadically in late-20th- and early-21st‑century use, especially among families seeking a Welsh‑flavored twist on Evan while keeping pronunciation intuitive in English.
Another pathway links Efin to Irish Éimhín (commonly Anglicized as Evin/Evinne), from Old Irish éimh (“lively, swift, ready”) plus the diminutive -ín, yielding a sense of “little lively one.” Because of phonetic overlap, Efin is sometimes grouped with Evin in diaspora records, though the f/v distinction varies by language. Variants and related forms include Evan, Ifan, Ieuan, Evin, and Éimhín. The name is unisex in contemporary use but leans masculine in English-speaking countries.
Efin is vanishingly rare. In all, it appears just 18 times, across 10 countries.
