Gawne Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

1 for Gawen, q.v.

2 for Gaughan, q.v.

Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

Contracted from Mac-an-Gabhain, 'The Smith’s Son'.

The smith in olden times was a very important person­age, as being the maker of armour and weapons, and since this trade, like others in that day, descended from father to son, its designation would soon become used as a surname.

'Maelbrighde Mac-an-Ghobhann', a.d. 1061.

Henry Gawen was 'Atturney' in 1517.
