Eythin is in Origin.

Eythin is a rare modern given name with two plausible inspirations. Most commonly, it functions as a creative respelling of Hebrew Eitan/Eithan (Anglicized Ethan), from ’etan, “firm, strong, enduring.” In a Welsh context, eithin is the native word for gorse, the hardy, golden-flowering shrub, giving the name an alternative nature-based reading. The blend of familiar Ethan sounds with a distinctive y and final -in makes Eythin feel both contemporary and rooted.

Usage of Eythin appears sporadically from the early 21st century, echoing the surge of Ethan across English-speaking countries in the 1990s–2000s. It remains uncommon and versatile in gender, though typically given to boys. Closely related forms include Ethan, Eithan, Eitan, Eytan, and Eythan; Welsh Eithin occurs in surnames and place-names. Depending on the intended source, Eythin carries the meanings “strong, enduring” or, by Welsh association, “gorse,” symbolizing resilience.
