Kevin is the anglicized form of the Irish masculine given name italics=no (; ; ; Latinized as Coemgenus). It is composed of "dear; noble"; Old Irish cóem and ("birth"; Old Irish gein).

The variant is anglicised from Caoimheán, an Irish diminutive form. A Dictionary of First Names. Oxford University Press (2007) s.v. "Kevin". The feminine version of the name is (anglicised as Keeva or Kweeva).

History
Saint Kevin (d. 618) founded abbey in the Kingdom of Leinster in 6th-century Ireland. Canonized in 1903, he is one of the patron saints of the Archdiocese of Dublin. Caomhán of Inisheer, the patron saint of , , is properly anglicized , but often also referred to as "Kevin".

The name was rarely given before the 20th century. In Ireland an early bearer of the anglicised name was Kevin Izod O'Doherty (1823–1905) a and politician; it gained popularity from the of the late nineteenth century, with and Kevin O'Higgins prominent in the Irish revolutionary period. Later it was "widely adopted throughout the English-speaking world", surging in popularity during the 1950s. In the United States the name's popularity peaked at rank 11 in 1963. It has steadily decreased in popularity since then, but was still given with moderate frequency in the 2010s, at rank 89 as of 2016. Kevin fell out of the US Top 100 the following year and now ranks at Number 156. The name followed a similar trajectory in the United Kingdom, gaining popularity in the 1950s, peaking in the 1960s, gradually declining in the 1970s to 1980s, and falling out of the top 100 most popularly given names by the 1990s.

Oxford's A Dictionary of First Names suggests that anglicized Kevin may have influenced the adoption of Kelvin (in origin a river name) as a modern given name, which peaked in popularity at about the same time, albeit to a much lesser extent (peaking at rank 209 as of 1961 in the US). A Dictionary of First Names. Oxford University Press (2007) s.v. "Kelvin".

In mainland Europe, the name picked up popularity in the 1980s and 1990s via such American pop culture figures as actor , singer Kevin Richardson, and, most prominently, Kevin McCallister, 's character in the Christmas comedy film . "Kevin" was notorious for being extremely popular among lower-class parents between the end of the 1980s and the 2000s. The name peaked markedly in the early 1990s, reaching first rank in France (sometimes spelt Kévin) during 1989–1994, during 1991–1992 in Switzerland and in 1991 in Germany. In German markets, Home Alone was released as . Especially in Germany, the name became associated with low social status, an attitude popularised in German journalism based on a 2009 master thesis on primary teachers' reactions to children's given names. has become German short-hand for negative social preconceptions about trendy or exotic names.Pribyl, Katrin "KEVINISMUS" Wie Namen die Zukunft von Kindern beeinflussen , Welt, 26 February 2008.Zhang, Sarah The, Discoblog (discovermagazine.com), 1 February 2012.
