The annals of Scottish history reveal that Boynes was first used as a name by descendants of the Pictish tribe of ancient Scotland. The Boynes family lived in the lands of Boyne, near Portsoy in Banffshire since very early times. Translating from the Gaelic, the name means dweller by the river Boyne.During the Middle Ages, there was no basic set of rules and scribes wrote according to sound. The correct spelling of Scottish names were further compromised after many haphazard translations from Gaelic to English and back. Spelling variations of the name Boynes include Boyne, Boyn, Boynd and others. First found in Banffshire, where they held a family seat in the ancient thanedom of Boyne near Portsoy in that shire.
