Meaning & History

English: patronymic from the Middle English personal name Hawkin, a diminutive of Hawk 1 with the Anglo-Norman French hypocoristic suffix -in.

English: in the case of one family (see note below), this is a variant of Hawkinge, a habitational name from a place in Kent, so called from Old English Hafocing ‘hawk place’.

Irish: sometimes used as an English equivalent of Gaelic Ó hEacháin (see Haughn).

FOREBEARS Sir John Hawkyns (1532–95) was a renowned English naval commander who was knighted for his services against the Spanish Armada in 1588. Until recent times the family still used the spelling Hawkyns. They had been established in Plymouth as far back as 1480, when a certain John Hawkyns held land there. They were originally a branch of a Kentish family from the village of Hawkinge (see 2 above), but the name had early on become assimilated to the form of the more common patronymic.
