Name Meaning

Irish (Derry and Donegal): from Mac Coinín ‘son of Coinín’, a personal name likely derived from a diminutive of cano ‘hound, wolf’ (though sometimes misinterpreted as ‘rabbit’).

Irish: alternatively, a shortened form of Ó Canann or Ó Canáin, see Cannon .

English: habitational name from a place in Wiltshire called Cannings, apparently named with the Old English byname Cana (of uncertain origin) + -ingas ‘people of’.
