The history of the last name Iddins

The surname Iddins is of English origin, and it is believed to have originated in the medieval period. The name is thought to be derived from the Old English personal name "Ida," which was a popular name during that time. This personal name was often combined with various suffixes, such as "-kin" or "-ing," to create surnames.

One possible origin of the Iddins surname is that it derived from the Old English phrase "Ida's kin," which means "Ida's family" or "Ida's descendants." This suggests that the name may have initially been used to identify individuals who were part of a family or clan associated with someone named Ida.

Another possibility is that the name originated as a place name, referring to a location where someone named Ida or their descendants lived. Place names were often used as surnames in medieval times, and many of these names have evolved over time due to variations in spelling and pronunciation.
