The name Corvin comes from the Latin name Corvinus which derives from the Latin word corvus meaning raven, although the word today refers to the birds' genus including ravens and crows among others.
Corvin most commonly is a surname, but it and its variations are being used as a given name as well.
As a given name its most common variations are Corvan, Korvin and Korwin and their English equivalent Raven.
The surname Corvin in Ireland, also transcribed as Corvan, Corravan and others, is a corruption of the Irish (Gaelic) name O Corra Ban, part of the O Corra (in English Corr) sept or sub-clan. "Corr" means odd, singular, while the addition of "Ban" means white. The Corr sept fell under the authority of the O Neill clan. The O Corra Bans were concentrated in County Armagh where versions of the name are still most commonly found. Following political and religious unrest in Armagh in the 1790s, there was a migration of numbers of Catholic families from the county, including a number of Corvins or Corvans.
