Origin Displayed: Scottish

Where did the Scottish Boynes family come from? What is the Scottish coat of arms/family crest? When did the Boynes family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the history of the family name?

The Boynes family name was first used by descendants of the Pictish people of ancient Scotland. It is a name for someone who lived in the lands of Boyne, near Portsoy in Banffshire since very early times. Translating from the Gaelic, the name means dweller by the river Boyne.

Scribes in the Middle Ages did not have access to a set of spelling rules. They spelled according to sound, the result was a great number of spelling variations. In various documents, Boynes has been spelled Boyne, Boyn, Boynd and others.

First found in Banffshire, where they were seated in the ancient thanedom of Boyne near Portsoy in that shire.

The cruelties suffered under the new government forced many to leave their ancient homeland for the freedom of the North American colonies. Those who arrived safely found land, freedom, and opportunity for the taking. These hardy settlers gave their strength and perseverance to the young nations that would become the United States and Canada. Immigration and passenger lists have shown many early immigrants bearing the name Boynes: Patrick Boyne who arrived in Philadelphia in 1874; Mathew Boyn arrived in Philadelphia in 1804 from Ireland.
