Intin History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms

Origins Available:
England

The ancestry of the name Intin dates from the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. It comes from when the family lived in the parish of Hinton in the diocese of Salisbury, Winchester, Oxford, Peterborough, Bath and Wells.

There are two very different origins of the word Hinton. First, it means "high (or chief) farmstead," from the Old English "heah" + "tun," and secondly it means "farmstead belonging to a religious community," from the Old English "hiwan" + "tun." 1

From the many parishes found, the oldest is Hinton St. Mary, Dorset which was known in Saxon times as Hamtune in 944. 1

Hinton-in-the-Hedges is a small village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England. A church has existed here since Saxon times. The earliest recorded Rector was Sir Richard de Hynton in 1275. There is a monument to Sir William Hinton found here.

Early Origins of the Intin family

The surname Intin was first found in the Domesday Book of 1086 where Robert de Hintona was listed. 2

Years later, Thomas de Hyneton was listed in the Curia Regis Rolls of 1230 in Dorset and later, Thomas Hynton was found in the Feet of Fines for Essex in 1385. 3

The "Testa de Nevill, sive Liber Feodorum, temp. Henry III-Edward I" included some of the early entries for the family: Thomas de Hynton, Oxfordshire; Lucia de Hineton, Berkshire; and Matilda de Hinton, Middlesex. 4

The Hundredorum Rolls of 1273 listed John de Hinton, Cambridgeshire; and Roger de Hinton, Dorset. 5

Migration of the Intin family

Some of the first immigrants to cross the Atlantic and come to North America bore the name Intin, or a variant listed above: Elizabeth, Elias, Joane, John Hinton all settled in Virginia in 1623; James Hinton settled in Maryland in 1774; Timothy and William Hinton settled in New England in 1774..
