This name is popular in Indonesia, especially among Chinese ethnic people like me. I know more than 10 boys called Kevin. I like the name, but wouldn't name my son this because it's overused here.
Used as a mainly feminine name in Uganda, seemingly influenced by Irish teacher, Franciscan Sister, and missionary Teresa Kearney (Mother Kevin) (1875-1957).https://forebears.io/forenames/kevin

In 2018, 47 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Kevin who is registered male with the Social Security Administration. It is the 26th most common male first name for living U.S. citizens.
Also used in Hungary. Pronounced: KE-vin.
Under the influence of American tv series, this name became so common a decade (or 2) ago in France, that it nearly became a joke. So it's now both common and associated with many annoying boys.
It does'nt carry the same connotations when held by an American, though.
Unfortunately Kevin is a typical lower class name in Germany. "Kevin is not a name but a diagnosis." as the magazine Spiegel writes: http://www.spiegel.de/schulspiegel/wissen/0,1518,649421,00.html
Sure, the name is used in Scandinavia. However, that doesn't make its origin Scandinavian!
Also used as a boys' name in Slovenia.
It is not a Slovene name, in spite there are many parents who want to be fancy by giving foreign names to their children.
I read somewhere that this name was forbidden in Mexico. I don't know if this is still true or not.
