The origin of the last name "Gevin" is likely of French origin. It may have derived from a place name or occupational name in France. It is possible that it is a variant spelling of the surname "Gauvin," which originates from the Old French personal name "Gauvin," derived from the Germanic name "Gawin" meaning "territorial lord." Alternatively, it could also have derived from the old French word "gave," meaning "inlet" or "bay," suggesting that it may have originally been a locational surname for someone who lived by a bay or inlet.
