= Day (q.v.) + the English diminutive suff. -kin.
See David. The motto of this widely-spread family, Stryke Dakeyne, the Devil's in the Hempe, is said to have originated from an incident in a sea-fight. It was used temp. Edw. VI., and probably much earlier.
The Dakins of Buxton and the Daykins of Alfreton possess an ancient Derbyshire name. The family of Dakeny or De Akeny followed William the Conqueror into England, and in the 13th century they were settled in Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, and Bedfordshire, where they held possessions; in the 15th century they were established in Herts, Derbyshire, and Yorkshire; and in Derbyshire the Dakins owned lands in Chelmorton, Fairfield, and Wollow in the reign of Edward IV. (G.). The ancient motto of this widely - spread race was "Stryke Dakeyne, the Devil's in the Hempe, " an allusion to an incident in a sea - fight prior to the reign of Edward VI. (L.). In the 17th century a family of Dakeyne resided in Stubbing - Edge, and another family of Dakin then lived in Castleton; the name was also established in Chesterfield last century (G.). Daking is a Suffolk form of the name. I am inclined to think that the name of Le Dekene (The Deacon?), which occurred in Lincolnshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk in the 13th century (H. R.), may have sometimes given rise to the name in East Anglia and elsewhere. At all events, it is remarkable that Deakin, a name now peculiar to Staffordshire, should be associated in that county with Dakin, and that the (apparently Latinised) form of Daykenus occurred in Hunts in the 13th century (H. R.).
