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.
V. Jeans.
