Irwin is English, Irish in Origin.
Irwin is an English masculine given name and surname with twin etymologies. From Old English Eoforwine (eofor “boar” + wine “friend”), it carries the bold sense “boar‑friend.” It also appears as a transferred use of the Scottish surname from the place-name Irvine in Ayrshire, whose name likely goes back to Brittonic elements meaning “green/fresh” + “river,” yielding the image “green river.” These roots tie Irwin to early medieval Britain.
As a given name, Irwin gained currency in the late 19th and early 20th centuries amid the vogue for surname first names, then declined but never vanished. Variant forms include Erwin, Ervin, Irvin, Irving, and Irvine; diminutives Irv, Erv, and Win occur. Rare feminine counterparts are Irvina and Ervina. Notable bearers include novelist Irwin Shaw and film-and-TV producer Irwin Allen.
