Origin: Modern

Meaning: Graced by Yahweh; God is gracious; Good messenger

Born from the Welsh Ifan, Evyn is a modern gender-neutral name cast upon those with an open heart and compassionate nature. Related closely to Evan, Evyn is an unusual take on the long-established John and shares its meaning—“graced by Yahweh” or "God is gracious." However, Evyn bears a distinctive mythological quality that may place it in the orbit of the Ancient Greek name Evangelo, earning it the favorable meaning "good messenger." Across its varying origins, Evyn resembles a conduit for kindness and good deeds—encouraging baby to be much the same.
