The surname Garvine, also spelled as Garvan, has its origins in Ireland. It is an anglicized form of the Gaelic name Ó Gairbhín, which means "son of Gairbhín." The Gaelic name itself is derived from the word "gairbh," meaning "rough" or "rugged."

In Ireland, surnames were often created by adding prefixes such as "Ó" or "Mac" to the name of one's father or ancestor. This practice began around the 10th century as a way to distinguish between different family lineages. The Ó Gairbhín family was associated with the County Tyrone in present-day Northern Ireland.

During the period of British colonization, Irish surnames often underwent anglicization to conform to English naming conventions. This led to the introduction of various spelling variations, including Garvine and Garvan. Many Irish people also faced pressure to abandon their native language and adopt English, contributing to changes in surname spellings.

Today, the surname Garvine or Garvan is primarily found amongst Irish diaspora communities, particularly in the United States, Canada, and Australia. Descendants of Irish immigrants often retain their ancestral surnames as an important link to their heritage. The name Garvine or Garvan continues to serve as a reminder of the rich history and cultural legacy of the Irish people.
