Name Meaning

English: variant of Dawkin from the Middle English personal name Dawkin, a pet form of Daw + the diminutive suffix -kin, with genitival or post-medieval excrescent -s. The name mostly denoted ‘little or young Ralph ’ and perhaps occasionally ‘little or young David ’. The -kin suffix may have been used to distinguish a son from a same-named father. Compare Dakin .
