Meaning & History
Scottish: reduced form of
Scottish and northern English: from a personal name popular in the Middle Ages in the Middle English form Gawayne as well as the Old French Gauvin. The name was introduced from French versions of the Arthurian romances, where this name was borne by one of the knights of the Round Table, the brother of Galahad and Mordred and a nephew of Arthur. It is probably from an Old Welsh personal name composed of the elements gwalch ‘hawk’ + gwyn ‘white’, influenced in part by Breton forms.
French and Swiss French: possibly a nickname for someone with a goiter or prominent Adam's apple, from a word meaning ‘throat’, ‘crop’.
In some cases possibly Castilianized form of Aragonese
