- Erwin Meaning
- Derived from the Germanic name Hariwini, composed of the elements hari 'army' and win 'friend'. It may have merged somewhat with the Germanic name Eburwin. A notable bearer was Erwin Schrodinger (1887-1961), an Austrian physicist who made contributions to quantum theory. Erwin is a variant of the name 'Erwyn and Everwyn'. In Old English, it comes from the word 'eoforwine', whose meaning is 'boar friend or noble friend'. It could also be a Scottish locational surname, from the Celtic elements 'ir', meaning 'fresh or green' and 'afon', meaning 'water'.
