How Popular Is The Name Darwin

Family name origins & meanings

  • English : from the Old English personal name Dēorwine, composed of the elements dēor ‘dear’ + wine ‘friend’. This name is attested in the 10th century, but it was not common; nevertheless it may have survived long enough to become a Middle English personal name and so given rise to the surname.
  • English : habitational name from Darwen in Lancashire, named from the Darwin river (earlier Derwent) on which it stands. This seems to be a British name derived from a word meaning ‘oak’.
