[Facts] Re: Orvin
Hi!I don't know the name Orvin, but if it is said to be originally German and means "boar", maybe it is an English variant of the German name Erwin which means "boar" + "friend".It could be a variant of one of these as well:Ortwin (head/tip of a weapon + friend)
Norwin (north + friend)
Gerwin (spear + friend)Regards, Satu

Satu:Thanks for the input. The only other time that I have seen this name was on a campaign poster for a candidate in a local election. Boar is an appropriate name for someone in Arkansas Razorback country.RJ
