Where did the Welsh Makin family come from? What is the Welsh Makin family crest and coat of arms? When did the Makin family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Makin family history? The Welsh Makin surname is thought to derived from name of the village of Machen, located near Caerphilly, in the county of Monmouthshire.Compared to other ancient cultures found in the British Isles, the number of Welsh surnames are relatively few, but there are an inordinately large number of spelling variations. These spelling variations began almost as soon as surname usage became common. People could not specify how to spell their own names leaving the specific recording up to the individual scribe or priest. Those recorders would then spell the names as they heard them, causing many different variations. Later, many Welsh names were recorded in English. This transliteration process was extremely imprecise since the Brythonic Celtic language of the Welsh used many sounds the English language was not accustomed to. Finally, some variations occurred by the individual's design: a branch loyalty within a family, a religious adherence, or even patriotic affiliations were indicated by spelling variations of one's name. The Makin name over the years has been spelled Machen, Machin, Machon, Mackon, Makin, Makins, MacMacken and many more. First found in Monmouthshire, where they held a family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early Kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects.
