Ewing Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
An Anglicized form of Ewen, which see. John Eving deponed to the right boundaries of the Monk Myre in 1546 (Cupar-Angus, II, p. 3). Bartholomew Ewinge was a burgess of Glasgow in 1555 (Protocols), and Alexander Ewyne appears in Aberdeen, 1598 (SCM., V, p. 126). George Ewein was schoolmaster of Lauder, 1621 (MCM., II, p. 47). Donald Ewing was retoured heir of William Ewing of Barindroman, Argyllshire, 1636 (Retours, Argyll, 57). George Yewing in Loanfoot of Cultamalindie, 1664 (DPD., I, p. 288), and David Yewine in Stirling, 1717 (Sc. Ant., VI p. 88). Uwing 1679. Other spellings of the name in the Register of Cupar-Angus are Evin, Evyn, Evyng, Ewin, and Ewyn.
Ewing is quite a numerous surname in Ireland: in 1866 there were 27 births registered for it, including a few for the synonyms Ewings and Ewin, while in 1890 the number was 24, in both cases almost entirely in Ulster. In that province it has since the seventeenth century been especially associated with the counties of Donegal, Derry, Tyrone and Antrim. Many Ewing wills are recorded for the dioceses comprising these northern areas. The “census” of 1659-60is one of the earliest Irish documents to include the name — in it Alexander Ewing appears as one of the leading inhabitants of Letterkenny, Co. Donegal. A few years later it appears frequently in the hearth money rolls for that county. It is probable that Dublin Ewings, such as the notable printing and publishing family of the mid-eighteenth century, came to the capital from the north.
The origin of the name is interesting. According to Reaney it goes back to the Greek eugenes (wellborn), cognate with the Gaelic Irish eoghan. Mac GiollaDomhnaigh, too, states that Ewing, also found as MacEwing, is a form of the well known Scottish name MacEwen, gaelice Mac Eoghain, i.e. our Irish MacKeown.
1 = Ewln (q.v.), with inserted -g.
2 the Domesday Euing, prob. = Eawa’s Son [Old English -ing, son suff.] A Eawa was brother of Penda, king of Mercia.
This name is ultimately derived from the Greek eugenes (well-born) cognate with the Irish eoghan. It is sometimes a synonym of the Scottish MacEwen, cf.
Irish Mac Eoghain. It is quite numerous throughout Ulster and appears quite frequently in the seventeenth century hearth money rolls of that province. SIF 65
Variation on Hugh (q.v.).
(English) Descendant of Ewen (warrior).
Euing, probably a Saxon, occurs in Domesday.
