Irvin was a top male baby name choice in the late part of the 18th century and early 19th century, but the name actually fell out of favor in the ‘80s, when it vanished from the graphs entirely, but it made a brief comeback in the ‘90s. It didn't last, though, and Irvin is now on the verge of fading into obscurity. People named Irvin are fearless and courageous, capable of fighting great battles on behalf of worthy causes.
