US Popularity:2056
Origin:British
Meaning:Dear friend
Darwin is a masculine name of English origin, rarely in need of introduction. Evolved from the Old English Deorwine, Darwin means "dear friend," though its reputation conjures a far more fatherly figure. Greatly interlinked with the Father of Evolution, Charles Darwin, this title will undoubtedly speak to the most scholarly minds. But far more than academic appeal, Darwin, by its very structure, embraces connection and natural bonds. Whether an influential thinker or a supportive ally, your little Darwin will certainly be an appealing soul to all walks of life.
