Donovin

Meaning of Donovin

Donovin is a masculine given name of Irish origin, stemming from the Gaelic Donnabhán, which translates to “brown-haired chieftain.” Pronounced doh-NOH-vin (/doʊˈnoʊvɪn/), it functions as a variant spelling of the more familiar Donovan, offering a distinct yet recognizable quality. According to U.S. Social Security Administration data, Donovin has maintained a modest but steady presence: it ranked 913th with 11 occurrences in 2024, after first breaking into the top 900 in the mid-2000s and fluctuating between the 800 and 900 ranks over the past two decades. This restrained usage suggests an ideal balance for parents seeking a name that evokes cultural heritage and personal distinction without venturing into obscurity.
