Unwin Family History
Unwin Name Meaning
English: from the Old English personal name Hunwine,
composed of the elements hun ‘bear cub’ + wine
‘friend’. Later in the Old English or early Middle English period,
this name came to be confused with the word unwine ‘enemy’
(from the negative prefix un- + wine ‘friend’), and this
is no doubt the source of the surname in some cases.
