From the February 2008 LoAR: "Kevin MacGregor of Kelwiny. Originally submitted as Kevin MacGregor of Kelvin, it was changed at kingdom to Cáemgen MacGregor of Kelvin because no support was found for the spelling Kevin as a period Anglicized form. Liam Price, The Place-Names of Co. Wicklow: The Barony of Ballinacor North, pp.30-31 shows a number of period Latin and English forms of the Gaelic place name Caisléan Caoimhghin, including Castrum Kevini 1343, Castlekevin 1542, 1619, and Castle Kevin 1590. Based on this, Kevin is a plausible Latin or English form of Caomhghin (the Early Modern Irish form of the Middle Irish Cáemgen)."
