ArchivesRe: Whats the meaning of Riwin
in reply to a message by Richi
What language or cultural background?
One possible explanation is that is it is shortened from the surname Rivinus (or Rivinius) that is a humanist latinsation of the German surname Bachmann (see, e.g., https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_Quirinus_Rivinus )
There is also a plant named Rivina (after the above mentioned botanist). A plant name gives a girl's name, and a masculine form derived from Rivina brings us to Rivin.

It’s a surname in my family tree. Supposedly, the first Rivinius from eastern Bavaria owner the local
Paper and latinized his name to sound more scholarly. He was a Christian. It was originally Rivinovich or Rivenich. It supposedly means river valley. The area they came from in Bavaria was a big valley with river so....
7 Rivinius males left Germany. The Christian Rivinius went to Russia under Catherine the great and were murdered door to door during the Russian Revolution and ethnic cleansing.
The 2 Catholic Rivinius families moved to America at the same time as the others left for Russia and again split between catholic and Christian.
That’s all I have. Odds are if your last name is riviniu S you are directly related to other Rivinius as it was a purposeful alteration of another name.

My understanding, RIWIN is commonly using baby boy name in Asia(malaysia,India, ThaILAND,..) America.

The name is ending with WIN .so verbally pronounce like Ree WIN..its like a form of Always successful
