Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

We have from Descriptive Nicknames. These names seem to have been originally nicknames, which became surnames at a comparatively recent date. The prefix kin is the genitive of kione, 'head', and this fact precludes their being simply appellations from a personal peculiarity, as kione-beg, ‘little head', and so we must suppose that Christian names were appended to the original forms, as Juan-y-Kin-Vig, 'John of Little Head', Steen-y-Kin-Raad, 'Stephen of Road End', where these titles refer to Juan’s and Steen's abodes, and that their sons would be Mac Kinvig and Mac Kinraad, the mac being soon omitted.
