Clyne Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
From the lands of Clyne in the parish of the same name in Sutherlandshire. Various charters dated between 1350 and 1372 were witnessed by William of Clyne (OPS., II, p. 482), who is probably the William de Clyn, "nobilis vir," who appears in record in 1375 as holding the lands of Cathboll in Tarbat of the bishop of Moray (REM., p. 180—181). Malcolm de Clyne, secretary of the bishop of Orkney in 1390, was also a cleric in Moray (Diplomatarium Norvegicum, XVII, p. 932), and petitioned for a benefice in 1394 (CSR., I, p. 177). William of Clyne of that Ilk gave seisin of the earldom of Sutherland to John, the son and apparent heir of John, earl of Sutherland in 1456 (OPS., II. p. 724), and in 1512 William of Clyne of that Ilk witnessed a seisin of the same earldom in favor of John, the son and heir of the deceased Earl John (ibid.). The family appears to have ended in daughters, as in 1518 Adam, earl of Sutherland gave to John Morray of Aberscors for his sons the ward and marriage of Jonet Clyne and of her sister Elizabeth, the daughters and heiresses of William Clyne of Clyne. John Morray disponed the same to one of the Sutherlands who "mareid the heyre of Clyne" (Gordon, Genealogical history of the Earldom of Sutherland, 1813, p. 94), Alexander Clyne in Greenland, Caithness, is recorded in 1662 (Caithness). Norval Clyne (1817—1889), man of letters, was perhaps the only prominent bearer of the name in modern times.
The name in Irish is Mac Giolla Chlaoin and it appears as Macgilleclyne and other similar early anglicized forms in the Fiants from 1585 in Counties Roscommon and Longford. The place name Ballykilcline in that part of the former, lying between Counties Longford and Mayo, indicates the homeland of the sept. Families of the name later became fairly numerous also in the neighbouring county of Leitrim as well as Mayo. The older form Kilcline has now become rare even in Cos. Roscommon and Mayo, having been superseded by the better known Clynes which is now chiefly found in Leitrim and Longford.
Other modern variants are Clyne, Clynne, Clines and Cline. John Robert Clynes (1869-1949) a leader of the Labour Party in England, was born in Co. Mayo.
The famous fourteenth century annalist, John Clyn, was of a Co. Kilkenny family which is perpetuated in the place-name Clinstown. It has no connexion with the Gaelic-Irish family of Clynes, being Cambro-Norman in origin.
(Scottish) One who came from Clyne (a slope), the name of two places in Scotland.
From the Dutch, Klein; a personal name.
