Bervin is a distinctively Breton male name, originating from the Breton language of Brittany, France. Derived from "ber" meaning 'hill' or 'mountain', and "vin" meaning 'white', Bervin translates to 'white hill' or 'white mountain'. Historically significant since the Middle Ages, it was popular among Breton nobility and later spread across Europe via Norman conquests. Today, it's relatively uncommon but retains cultural ties to Brittany.
