The surname Gavin, or its Irish variant O'Gavan, has its origins in Ireland, tracing back to ancient Gaelic culture. The name is derived from the Gaelic personal name Gobha, meaning smith or blacksmith.

During the early medieval period, the O'Gavans were a prominent sept or clan in County Clare, located in the western part of Ireland. They were known for their expertise in blacksmithing, which was a vital occupation in ancient Irish society. The O'Gavans were considered hereditary smiths to the O'Brien dynasty, the kings of Thomond, and enjoyed a position of prestige.

As with many Irish surnames, the arrival of English rule in Ireland in the 17th century led to the anglicization of Gaelic names. The O'Gavans dropped the O' prefix, as it indicated a connection to traditional Gaelic culture, and the name became Gavin. Many O'Gavans also migrated to other parts of Ireland or even beyond its shores due to political and economic factors.

Today, the surname Gavin is prevalent both in Ireland and among the Irish diaspora around the world. It is a proud representation of the ancient Gaelic heritage and the importance of blacksmithing in Irish history.
