British Family Names: Their Origin and Meaning (1903) by Henry Barber

The ancient family of Keynes owned the manors of Stoke Wake, Candel Wake, and Hull, as well as estates in Wilts, during the 15th and 16th centuries. Still further back, they owned part of the manor of Combe Keynes during the 14th century (H.). This name was usually spelt Keynes, but sometimes Kaines, so that probably the present Caines' of this county hail from the same stock.
