Tavin
Meaning of Tavin
Tavin, pronounced /teɪˈvɪn/, is an Anglo-American masculine name posited to derive as a streamlined variant of Tavian—itself a diminutive adaptation of the Roman cognomen Octavianus—thereby inheriting the classical connotation of “eighth-born.” Though its precise etymological origin remains partly conjectural, Tavin exemplifies a neoclassical coinage that balances brevity with historical resonance. Analysis of Social Security Administration data indicates its first noteworthy emergence in the mid-1980s, achieving a peak rank of 702 in 1986 before subsiding through the 1990s and experiencing a moderate resurgence in the early 2010s; as of 2024, the name is borne by eighteen male infants in the United States, corresponding to rank 906. Such longitudinal patterns suggest Tavin’s persistent appeal to parents seeking a name characterized by phonetic clarity, a two-syllable structure, and subtle classical allusion without prominence in higher-frequency naming tiers.
