- 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".
