Ever wondered what's the meaning of your name? I am curious & thus I googled the meaning of my name, KEVIN. You'll be surprised of what you'll be able to find of the meaning of your name.

A click to www.namespedia.com gave the following result:
(www.namespedia.com is a website like www.wikipedia.com but specifically for names!)

Name: Kevin
Gender: Masculine
Location: Ireland
Language: Irish
Thematic: Unknown Thematic
Meaning: Handsome Birth

& to my surprise, a search of my name gave a +ve result in www.wikipedia.com as well. Seemed that this website had just every information you are interested & can think of!

A short meaning of KEVIN from that website:
Kevin, Irish Caoimhín (Old Irish Cóemgein, Middle Irish Caoimhghín), is a male first name of Irish origin. It is believed that Saint Kevin was the one who popularized the name, although Kevin is not a biblical name. Kevin is believed to be derived from the Irish cóem "kind, honest, and handsome" and gein "birth".[1] Kevin is unrelated to the names Kelvin or Calvin. Its female version is Kevina (pronounced kev-EE-nə).[2] "Kevin" is one of the top 100 male baby names in Canada, Catalonia (within Spain) Chile, France, Hungary, Ireland, the Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Norway, Slovenia, Spain (as a whole), Sweden and the United States.[3] It can also be spelled Kevyn, Keven, Kevan, or Kévin.
There is no specific female variation of the name, though the Irish name Caoimhín has a girls counterpart Caoimhe.

Further searches brought me to http://www.blogthings.com/whatsyournameshiddenmeaningquiz/results/?result=Kevin with a long-winding result as below: 

You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life.
You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip.
People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them.

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

You are very hyper. You never slow down, even when it's killing you.
You're the type of person who can be a workaholic during the day... and still have the energy to party all night.
Your energy is definitely a magnet for those around you. People are addicted to your vibe.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.  

Interesting ya? 1 thing I found out is that the origin of my name is from Ireland. I am an Irish!!!
