'''Kevin''', [[Gaeilge|Irish]] ''[[Caoimhin|Caoimhín]]'' ([[old Irish]] ''Caoimhghín'' or ''Caemgen''), is a male [[first name]] of Irish origin. It is believed that [[Kevin of Glendalough|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 ''coem'' "kind, gentle, handsome" and ''gein'' "birth".<ref name="Meaning">[http://www.behindthename.com/php/view.php?name=kevin Behind the Name: Meaning, Origin and History of the Name Kevin<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Kevin is unrelated to the names Kelvin or Calvin.<ref name="Related Names">[http://www.behindthename.com/php/related.php?name=kevin Behind the Name: Search Results<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> "Kevin" is one of <blockquote></blockquote>the top 100 baby names in [[France]], [[Ireland]], [[Sweden]] and the [[United States]].<ref name="Popularity">[http://www.behindthename.com/top/search.php?terms=kevin Behind the Name: Search Results<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
