Name Root:
ir afon > IRVINE / Irwyn
Meaning:*
This name derives from a Scottish surname “Irvine,” meaning “green water,” from the river Irvine in Dumfriesshire. The name, in turn, is composed of two Celtic elements: “ir” (green, fresh) plus “afon” (river, water). However, wherever found, the surname can also be a developed form of the Old English pre 7th century given name “Irwyn,” originally composed of the elements “eofor,” meaning “wild boar,” and “wine,” meaning “a friend.” Clan Irvine is a lowland Scottish clan. Sometime between 1124 and 1125, Gilchrist, son of Erwini, witnessed a charter of the Lords of Galloway. The first lands by the name of Irvine were in Dumfriesshire. According to family tradition, the clan chief’s family’s origin is connected with the early Celtic monarchs of Scotland.
