It belonged to the <strong>knight<\/strong> de <strong>King Arthur<\/strong>&lsquo;s court, and it&rsquo;s thought to mean &ldquo;white hawk.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That Welsh and Scottish heritage runs deep, but Gavin is also a popular name in Ireland.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Specifically in Ireland, it&rsquo;s linked to the old surname &Oacute; Gabh&aacute;in, and the word &ldquo;smith.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, this seemingly simple name has two striking meanings. One is the white <strong>hawk<\/strong> soaring high, and the other is a <strong>smith<\/strong> forging steel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Celtic lore, smiths were nearly magical figures, people who could bend metal with fire and create legendary weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It suits a boy with a sharp mind and skilled hands!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14.
