Heres what I found about my name. My first name is Kevin and my middle name is Fitzgerald. The Fitz part is "son of" and my Dads name is Gerald.
"This boy's and girl's name is used in Dutch and English. Its source is Caoimhin, an Irish Gaelic name meaning "Handsome beloved." Learn more about the heritage of this name.
Alternate spellings of the name Kevin include: Cevin, Keven, Kevyn. There are four other forms of Kevin.
This name's expression of admiration and affection could be specific to the newborn, more like ''handsome baby.''
St. Kevin is one of the patron saints of Dublin, Ireland. His name was not commonly used outside of Ireland until the 1920s. Since then, it has gained and maintained popularity in the U.S., and may get a further boost from the fame of actor-producer-director Kevin Costner."
