Sound was what guided spelling in the essentially pre-literate Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Kyne family name include Kin, Kinn, Kine, Kins, Kinne, Kyne, Cyne, Kyn and others.

First found in Lincolnshire where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the year 1260 when Pestell Kin held estates in that shire.

For political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, Canada, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Kyne surname or a spelling variation of the name include:

Kyne Settlers in the United States in the 18th Century


  • Mathias Kyne, who arrived in America in 1798

Kyne Settlers in the United States in the 19th Century


  • Margt Kyne, aged 18, landed in New York in 1864

Kyne Settlers in the United States in the 20th Century


  • Margaret M. Kyne, who came to New York in 1905
