Malvin is a masculine name with British, French, and Latin roots to encourage baby’s kind, gentle demeanor. While its French and Latin connections can translate it to “bad settlement,” don’t let that dark tone discourage you. A variant of Melvin, this name comes from the Old English moniker Mælwine or the Gaelic surname Maoilmhín, meaning “council friend” or “gentle captain.” This can be a lovely choice to encourage your little one’s leadership skills and benevolent spirit. Baby is going to have plenty of time to become the person in charge in the future, and Malvin can always remind them to lead with compassion.
