"Øyvind or Øivind is a male name of Ancient Nordic origin. The name is derived from the Norse name "Eyvindr", of uncertain significance. Some suggestions are that "ey" comes from "auja" (gift) and "wandia": (facing, - to get or give) - or island (liberal application or happiness, luck) and "vindr" (warrior). Therefore, the generous one or the gifted or lucky warrior. Other suggestions are that "ey" means Island, one living on an island, and "vindr" means soldier or triumphing, i.e. , a lucky warrior who lives on an island - or one that always wins.
Or that a Norse "ei" that always means wind and which then means wind, breath, spirit, providing translation: one who always has breath for new action, or one that always has wind in his sails. Probably the Norwegian male name with most suggestions for significance."
