Revyn is a boy's and girl's baby name of Irish and Old English origin, a creative spelling of Raven or Revyn — possibly related to the Old English hraefn meaning 'raven,' the intelligent, mysterious black bird. Ravens appear in Norse mythology as Odin's companions and in Celtic tradition as symbols of prophecy.
Revyn has the dark, atmospheric quality of raven imagery while the -yn ending gives it a Celtic linguistic connection. A name for parents drawn to the mysterious and mythological.
