The story of the Hutchens family stretches back through time to the Viking settlers who populated the rugged shores of Scotland in the Medieval era. The name Hutchens was derived from Huchon, a diminutive form of Hugh. Patronymic surnames arose out of the vernacular and religious given name traditions. This name is the equivalent of Hugh in the vernacular of Scotland.

Spelling was done by sound, and translation from Gaelic to English was generally quite careless. In different records, Hutchens has been spelled Hutchins, Hutchings, Hutchin, Hutcheon, Huchens, Hutcheons, Hutchon, Houchin, Houchen, Houchens, MacCutcheon, MacQuestion and many more.

First found in Ross-shire, where they held a family seat from very ancient times.
