MULVIN Family History

This interesting and rare surname is of Gaelic origin, and is a variant of "Melvin", which in Ireland is the Anglicized form of the Gaelic "O'Maoil Mhin", composed of the Gaelic prefix "O", male descendant of , "maoil", devotee, and "Min", a saint's personal name, from "min", meaning soft and gentle; hence "the male descendant of the devotee of (Saint) Min". This uncommon form of the surname can be found in East Leinster, while Melvin itself is mainly located in County Mayo, and in some instances East Galway.
