Murvin is a masculine name with Scottish and Welsh connections. A variant of Mervin, and in turn the Welsh Merfyn, it may come from the Welsh words mer, meaning “marrow,” and myn, meaning “eminent.” It may also have links to the Old Welsh Myrddin, meaning “of the sea hills,” inspiring your little one to find their safe space by the sea. In addition, Murvin may or may not have links to Morven or Morvern, coming from the Scottish Gaelic place name A' Mhorbhairne. Meaning “the sea-gap,” it can connect your little one to a specific area in Scotland. If you’re looking for a subtle, versatile way to celebrate baby’s connections to the Highlands, Murvin can do the job.
