Nevin (surname)
Nevin is a surname of Irish (Gallowglass) origin. Two etymologies are given. It may originate from ''Cnamhín'', derived from ''Cnamh'', "a bone", possibly a nickname in reference to the first chief of the clan who was a bony or large-boned man.〔"According to the family genealogy the Nevins are descended from Cnamhin ('cnaim': Irish 'a bone') from whom were derived O'Cnaimhin, anglicized Neving, MacNevin, Bone, Bonass, and Bowen. Cnamhin was No. 102 of the Princess of Oly O'Carroll from Cian, third son of Olioll Olum, King of Munster."
〕 Secondly, it may be an Anglicisation of the Irish Gaelic form ''MacCnaimhín'' / ''Ó Cnaimhín'' / ''MacCnaomhín'' / ''Ó Cnaomhín'' or ''Ní Chnáimhín'' / ''Ní Chnáomhín'' (female), meaning "Little Saint" or "Saintly" / "Believer in Saints" / "Religious".
==Nevin Modern Placement==
The name Nevin is particularly found along the north and west coast of Ireland in Derry, Donegal, Mayo and Galway where many settled around the 13th century, having been Gallowglass Mercenaries, and in the north and west of Scotland. The Nevins are notable per local population in Achill and the surrounding islands in County Mayo and around Coleraine and Derry. Possible sources of the family have been cited as: Achill Island, Athenry, Mayo village and Mulranny in Ireland, as well as Braco, Isle of Bute, Kilwinning, and Lanark, in Scotland. Nevin has often been anglicised as ''McNevin'', ''Nieven'', ''McNieven'', ''McNiven'', ''Navin'', ''Knavin'' and ''Niven'', amongst many others. The main Scots translation, most likely due to accent, is ''Niven'' / ''McNiven''.
