Likely a modern blend of Marvin and Mervin
Marvens is a contemporary creation, most likely functioning as a variant or blend of the Welsh name Marvin (meaning 'sea hill') or the Germanic Mervin. It has gained some usage within Haitian-American communities as a modern rhythmic choice. Because it is a relatively recent coinage, it lacks a singular ancient etymology.
