Hindman Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

Weekley and Harrison say from ME. hende, courteous, and Harrison further suggests (2) keeper of the hinds. The family of Hyndman of Springside was originally of Lunderstown in Renfrewshire which they possessed as far back as the days of James v (Robertson, Ayrshire families, II. p. 346). The name is found in Bute in 1649 (Hewison, II, p. 267), John Hyndman appears there in 1662 (HP., III, p. 12). John Hynman appears in Kilcattane, 1662 (Isles), and John Hyndman was merchant in Largs, 1749 (Hunter, p. 73). The name of Annie Heyman who was at a meeting of witches in Bute in 1662 is perhaps intended for Hyndman (HP., III, p. 8, 28).
