History and Origin
Malvina is a feminine given name derived from the Gaelic mala mhinn, meaning "smooth brow". It was popularized by the 18th century Scottish poet James Macpherson. The name became popular in Scandinavia on account of Napoleon, an admirer of Macpherson's Ossianic poetry, who was the godfather of several children of Jean Baptiste Jules Bernadotte, an officer of his who ruled Norway and Sweden in the early 19th century. Other names popularised by Macpherson became popular in Scandinavia on account of Napoleon. The Argentinian name for the Falkland Islands, Las Malvinas, is not etymologically related to Malvina, but is instead derived from the name of St Malo, a seaport in Brittany.
Variant forms of the Malvina include: Malwine, Malvine, Malwida, Malve, Mal, and Malvin.
Scottish, English, and Scandinavian (esp. Danish): apparently a factitious name, based on Gaelic mala mhin smoothbrow, invented by James Macpherson (1736–96), the Scottish antiquarian poet who published works allegedly translated from the ancient Gaelic bard Ossian. The name became popular in Scandinavia because of the admiration of the Emperor Napoleon for the Ossianic poems: he was godfather to several of the children of his marshal Jean Baptiste Bernadotte (who ruled Norway and Sweden (1818–44) as Karl XIV Johan) and imposed his own taste in naming practices on them, hence the frequency of ‘Ossianic’ given names in Scandinavia. Las Malvinas is the Argentinian name for the Falkland Islands; the origin of this is disputed, but it appears to have no connection with the Ossianic name.
