Baskin Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

(English) Descendant of little Bass or Bassa (short).

Dictionary of American Family Names (1956) by Elsdon Coles Smith

(from the name of a female ancestor) Basyah (Batyah) becomes Bashe in Yiddish. Baskin is a matronymic: Bas (for Bashe or Basheva) plus -kin, the Russian patronymic suffix. Later on, someone in the family who was unfamiliar with the Russian ending changed the kin to kind. This happens very often in names ending with kin.

— Rabbi Benzion Kaganoff
