Winn Family History
Recorded as Win, Winn, Wyn, Wynn and the diminutives Winnett and Wynett, this is an Anglo-Welsh surname. It is true that in modern times it is generally considered to be Welsh, but in fact there are at least four possible origins. These are from the Welsh or Olde English personal name Gwyn of the pre 8th century. This translates as "fair", and may originally have been a descriptive nickname for an Anglo-Saxon of Norse-Viking invader who were fair skinned. Secondly it may originate from the personal name "Wine", which was an Olde English word meaning friend, thirdly it may be from the the Norse-Viking pre 9th century personal name "Hvin", which translates literally as "gorse", but was probably a nickname for a prickly person...Select Audience

Greetings All, my second great grandmother, Mary Winn, emigrated to the States from Sligo during the Great Hunger; I believe she may have been 17 years old and might have lied about her age. Her mother Billy stayed in Sligo and died soon after Mary emigrated. I believe Mary's dad Tere (?) had already died prior to this. I believe that he came from Galway. My history deteriorates there. I would love to know more about Tere and his family. I'd place his birth around 1810 or so.
