Kevin in Cursive

Kevin in cursive is 𝒦ℯ𝓋𝒾𝓃. In bold script it is 𝓚𝓮𝓿𝓲𝓷, and the short form Kev is 𝒦ℯ𝓋. Only the ℯ is from Unicode's older script characters.

Kevin is short and has no letters below the line, so it fits neatly on a jersey, a phone case or a gamer tag.

The cursive capital K is two strokes. First a tall stem, often with a small loop or curve at the top. Then a separate stroke that comes in from the right, touches the stem in the middle, and kicks back out at the bottom. That kick usually leads straight into the e.

The small cursive k is different again: a tall loop like an l, then a small closed bump on the right before it finishes.

After the K, Kevin is e, v, i, n, all short letters. The v ends with a stroke at the middle of the line, so the i begins from up there. Add the dot on the i at the very end.

Kevin is the English form of the Irish Caoimhín, from words meaning "dear" or "noble" and "birth". Saint Kevin founded the monastery at Glendalough in the 6th century and is one of the patron saints of Dublin.

The name was rare before the 20th century and spread with the Gaelic revival. The Irish feminine form is Caoimhe.
