Darwin Name Meaning
from the Old English personal name Deorwine,
composed of the elements deor ‘dear’ + wine
‘friend’. This name is attested in the 10th century, but it was not
common; nevertheless it may have survived long enough to become a
Middle English personal name and so given rise to the
surname.habitational name from Darwen in Lancashire, named from
the Darwin river (earlier Derwent) on which it stands. This
seems to be a British name derived from a word meaning ‘oak’.
