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.
