The earliest forms of hereditary surnames in Spain were the patronymic surnames, which are derived from the father's given name, and metronymic surnames, which are derived from the mother's given name. Similar to many Spanish patronymic names, the distinguished surname Marins is a proud sign of a rich and ancient ancestry. The name Marins was originally derived from the French given name Marin, which was itself derived from the Latin given name Marinus. The French given name Marin was an occupational name for a sailor.
