Jeanes Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from the name of an ancestor. 'the son of John.' To the influence of the Old French diminutive Jenin we owe our English Jennings (q.v). To the influence of Jean we owe the variants of Jones here given; v. Jane and Jones.
Alan fil. Jene, Lincolnshire, 1273. Hundred Rolls.
1595. Married — John Johnson and Jone Geynson: Prestbury Ch. (Cheshire).
1663. Thomas Lovell and Mary Jeenes: Marriage Alleg. (Canterbury).
1667. Thomas Jeynson, vicar of Prestbury, Cheshire: Wills at Chester.
1801. Married — Robert Jeanes and Elizabeth Jones: St. George, Hanover Square.
John Jeans and Martha Chater: ibid.
A surname recorded in Moray, and perhaps the same as Janes formerly current in Aberdeenshire. Macbain (v, p. 31) suggests it is a metronymic form from Jean = John. Agnes Jenis, spouse to William Tullo in Kynclune, is in record, 1510 (RAA., II, p. 395). It might be local from the place name Geanies, the earliest recorded form of which was Genes. Ingeramous de Genes appears as witness at Berwick, 1275, and he probably derived his name from Guines near Calais, an old spelling of which was Gynes. See Gynes.
Jeans’s (Son): v.Jean.
Probably from the French Jean, John.
