Coyn Coat of Arms and Surname Origin

Spelled Coyn, the surname still points back to Coyne. The name is generally explained as “Wild goose”.

You may also find the name written Kyne. Local scribes, dialects and emigration all left their mark on how the name was written. Coyn drops the “e” of Coyne, a shortening that clerks often made.

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Coyn, so the heraldry linked to Coyne is a starting point, not an automatic right. Get the complete Coyn report, with a museum-style coat of arms.
