It's true you should not post in all caps.
The great majority of modern Americans named Brevin have as its origin a blend as you describe. That was how the basketball player Brevin Knight received this name. His name blends the names of his parents, Brenda and Melvin.
However, there is another possible origin. Brevin is also the French form of Bregwin. Bregwin was the Saxon name of an archbishop of Canterbury in England who died in 764, and there are places in Brittany, France called St.-Brevin-les-Pins and St.-Brevin-l'Ocean named after him.
If you wish you can suggest Brevin to the owner of this site as a future addition. It's up to him to decide what names he wants to include.

Dear Brevin, YOU SEEM TO HAVE YOUR CAPS LOCK KEY STUCK. In internet parlance it is generally considered rude to type in all caps; it is like shouting at your readers.
I am unsure of the purpose of your post. You have stated Brevin is a created name with no meaning, so I am not sure why you have posted on a board regarding etymology (the study of meaning of words and names). If in the future the name Brevin becomes popular like other created names, like Vanessa, it will likely be listed on sites such this. However, in the interim, ever made up name cannont be put on name sites due to time and it would ruin the true spirit of the site which is to track the meaning of names - not made up.
