Etymology of BarlinsWhat does the name Barlins mean? This surname is a local name from Barling (or Barling Magna) which is a village and civil parish in Essex. The word "Barling" is said to derive from two Saxon words "ban", a boar, and "ing", a meadow. 1 Early Origins and Etymology of BarlinsThe surname Barlins was first found in Essex at Barling, a parish, in the union and hundred of Rochford where "it comprises the manors of Barling and Mucking, the former of which is the property of the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's, London, by gift from Edward the Confessor. " 2 Barlings is a small parish, in the wapentake of Lawress, parts of Lindsey, in Lincolnshire where "an abbey for Praemonstratensian canons, dedicated to St. Mary, was founded in 1154. 2 The Essex parish is the oldest as it dates back to Saxon times when it was known as Baerlingum in 998. 1 By the time of the Domesday Book of 1086, it was known as Berlinga. 3 And it is here that the first record, that of Baddewin de Barling was recorded in 1240.

Barlins Spelling VariationsAnglo-Norman names tend to be marked by an enormous number of spelling variations. This is largely due to the fact that Old and Middle English lacked any spelling rules when Norman French was introduced in the 11th century. The languages of the English courts at that time were French and Latin. These various languages mixed quite freely in the evolving social milieu. The final element of this mix is that medieval scribes spelled words according to their sounds rather than any definite rules, so a name was often spelled in as many different ways as the number of documents it appeared in.

Migration of the Barlins familyBecause of the political and religious discontent in England, families began to migrate abroad in enormous numbers. Faced with persecution and starvation at home, the open frontiers and generally less oppressive social environment of the New World seemed tantalizing indeed to many English people. The trip was difficult, and not all made it unscathed, but many of those who did get to Canada and the United States made important contributions to the young nations in which they settled. Some of the first North American settlers with Barlins name or one of its variants: Amelia Barlean, aged 24, who arrived at Ellis Island, in 1913; Addie Barling, aged 32, who arrived at Ellis Island from Sydenham, in 1893; Albert Barling, aged 22, who arrived at Ellis Island from Birmingham, in 1907.
