Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Kenin family history? The Anglo-Saxon name Kenin comes from when the family resided in the township of Kenyon found in the parish of Winwick in the county of Lancashire.The English language only became standardized in the last few centuries; therefore, spelling variations are common among early Anglo-Saxon names. As the form of the English language changed, even the spelling of literate people's names evolved. Kenin has been recorded under many different variations, including Kenyon, Kenion, Kennion and others. First found in Lancashire where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.

Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Kenin or a variant listed above: Kenin Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: Magnanimiter crucem sustine Motto Translation: Sustain the cross (i.e. support afflictions) with magnanimity.
