Baskin Family History

Baskin Surname Meaning

Irish: Anglicized form of Irish Ó Baiscinn from the personal name Bascaoin meaning ‘fair of hand’. The surname arose from a historical population group called Corca Bhaiscinn ‘seed of Bascaoin’ in west County Clare and is independent of the Norman name (see 3 below).

English (of Norman origin): from the Middle English personal name Baskin a borrowing of Flemish or Picard Basequin, a pet form of Base (ancient Germanic Baso, perhaps meaning ‘purple’) + the diminutive suffix -kin. It could also have been used as a pet form of Old French Basile.

See Bass. Jewish (from Belarus and Ukraine): metronymic formed with the Slavic possessive suffix -in from the Yiddish female personal name Baske, a pet form of the Biblical name Bath Seba under the influence of Polish Basia, a pet form of Barbara.
