Hink Family History

Hink Surname Meaning

German and Dutch: from a pet form of the personal name Heinrich (German) or Hendrick (Dutch). English: from the Middle English personal name Henke Hinke a short form of Henkin or Hencock ‘young Henry’. See Henkin.

Derivation from the Old English male personal name Hynca is theoretically possible but unlikely since it is recorded once only in the 9th-century and there is no evidence for it in post-Conquest England.
