Hankin
Hankin is a surname. This surname can trace its roots back to either the Anglo-Saxon people of Britain and to the name “Johan-kin”, or to the Scandinavian Nordic name “Haakon” and its patronymic “Haakonsson”. The name Haakon is from Old Norse meaning “High kin” coming from “Há” (high/chosen) and “konr” (descendant/kin). Haakonsson subsequently became anglicised into Modern-English as Hankinson, Hankins and Hankin. The surname is also a Jewish surname (Hebrew:חנקין) meaning child (kin) of Hanna.
