The founding heritage of the Hynes family is in the Anglo-Saxon culture that once dominated in Britain. The name Hynes comes from when one of the family worked as a keeper of the deer. The surname Hynes originally derived from the Old English word hinde which referred to someone who tended the deer. A quote from Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales underlines the occupation: Ther n'as baillif, ne herde, ne other hine.

The first dictionaries that appeared in the last few hundred years did much to standardize the English language. Before that time, spelling variations in names were a common occurrence. The language was changing, incorporating pieces of other languages, and the spelling of names changed with it. Hynes has been spelled many different ways, including Hines, Hine, Hyne, Hynes and others.

First found in Oxfordshire, where one of the first on record was Robert Hine who was Lord of the manor and held estates in that shire in the year 1254. John le Hyne was listed in the Hundred Rolls of 1273 in Oxford, and Robert le Hine was listed in Suffolk in the same rolls.The Writs of Parliament of 1313 show Stephen le Hine.

Although the passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe, those who made the voyage safely were rewarded with opportunities unavailable to them in their homeland.
