Gavin

Gavin is a masculine name of Welsh origin whose accessible sound hides a brave and compelling character. A Scottish take on the ancient name Gwalchgwyn or Gawain, Gavin holds the meaning "white hawk" and all the virtues long associated with the bird of prey. Considered symbolic of love and steadfastness, the white hawk is a fitting spirit animal for Gavin's most famed namesake—Sir Gawain of the Knights of the Round Table. This heroic figure of Arthurian legend is most known for his loyalty, bravery, and knightly perfection. And while Sir Gawain was the standard to which all other knights were measures, your little Gavin will most certainly be in a league of their own.
