Orwin

US Popularity Rank: 4998

Origin: German

Meaning: Army friend; Boar friend

Orwin is a boy's name of Old German origin. Derived from Erwin, it translates to "army friend." It’s also borrowed beautifully from the name Eberwin, which comes from the German elements ebur and wini, meaning "boar friend." Life may bring on a battle or two, but there's strength in numbers, and hopefully, a name like Orwin will inspire your little trooper to be a stronghold for those they love, especially when hearts are heavy and hard times hit.
