Owin

An Old English name, derived from the elements

The name Owin is of Irish origin and is derived from the Gaelic name Eógan, which means “born of the yew tree” or “well-born.” Yew trees were often considered sacred in ancient Celtic culture, symbolizing longevity and protection.

In terms of history, the name Owin has been used as a given name in Ireland for centuries, with variations such as Eoin and Owen also being popular. The name gained more widespread usage in English-speaking countries in recent decades, although it still retains its Irish roots.

Owin is a unique and meaningful choice for parents looking for a name with a strong Celtic connection and a sense of nobility or good fortune. Its simple yet distinctive sound and its ties to nature make it a charming option for a baby boy’s name.
