Name Meaning

English: variant of Hayne , with genitival or post-medieval excrescent -s; see Hain . Compare Hains .

English: habitational name from Haynes (Bedfordshire), which may derive from Old English hagenas, plural form of hagen ‘enclosure’.

English: in English counties bordering Wales, perhaps from the Welsh personal name Einws (a pet form of Welsh Einion) with a prosthetic H-; see also Enos . While this is linguistically possible there is no evidence yet to show that it was the origin of the surname.
