ArchivesRe: Kerwin
in reply to a message by lizagirl
Kirwin is an Irish surname that means dark skinned.It should be a from of that.
Or it could be a mash-up of Carwyn and Ciaran/Kieran. Ciar means black.

Thanks!
I've heard about the Irish using "Kirwan" as a surname, actually...It's funny, because my Dad (Kerwin) went to Ireland once, and for the first time in his life, he was in a place where people didn't think his name was strange.
I wonder why it was on the charts--albeit at the very bottom--for such a short time, and how it appeared and disappeared so suddenly.

It's possible that the chart you looked at only ranked names with a certain number of 'hits' or babies born with that name. For example, if the cut-off was 50, then the previous years there could have been 49 babies given that name... that would mean only a +1 or -1 drop, but it would be enough to make it drop off the chart. It could have had more or less the same (albeit low) popularity for years, but we'd never know!
