Kinsey Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a geographical locality. (1) 'of Kilnsea,' a parish in East Riding of Yorks; (a) 'of Kilnsay,' a hamlet in the parish of Burnsall, West Riding of Yorks; (3) 'of Kingsley'(l). I cannot help coming to the conclusion that Kinsey in Cheshire. and Lancashire, is a variant of Kingsley. The 'g' was lost in Kinsley, which see, and the 'l' in Kinsey. I doubt not that in the South of England most of our Kinseys are modifications of Kingsey (which see); compare Kinsman for Kingsman, or Kinsley for Kingsley.
1471. William Kynnesay, vicar of Hitcnam, Norfolk: History of Norfolk.
1586. William Chinseie, or Kinssee, Cheshire: Register of the University of Oxford.
1592. Married — Thomas Joneson and Elizabeth Kynscye: Reg. Prestbury, Cheshire.
1602. John Kynsey, Cheshire: Register of the University of Oxford.
1608. Married — John Kinsey and Dorithie Byrtles: Reg. Prestbury, Cheshire.
1729. — Charles Kinsey and Kerthrine Rever: St. Antholin (London).
(Teutonic) 1 the Anglo-Saxon Cynesige = Royal Victory [Old English cyne-, royal + sige, victory] 2 belonging to (a) Kilnsea (Holderness), the Domesday Chilnesse [The -nesse here and in the Domesday form (Hornesse) of the contiguous Hornsea, and the -nessei of the Domesday form (Widfornessei) of Withern- sea, have been assumed to be the dative sing. case-ending of either Old English næss or Old Norse nes, a promontory. Apart from the frequent untrustworthiness of Domesday forms, the difficulty is that none of these places seems to be properly a headland (the coast-line has, however, been considerably encroached upon by the sea); and, on the whole, the second element is more likely to be either Old Norse sæ-r, or Old English sǽ, lake] (b) Kilnsay or Kilnsey (W.Yorks) [This place is on the River Wharfe, so that the second element may reasonably be assumed to be the Old English í(e)g = Old Norse ey, waterside, island; and Kilns- prob. represents the genit. of a pers. name with Old English Céol- = Old Norse Kióll- (ship) for the first theme] 3 for Kingsey, q.v.
(English) Descendant of Cynesige (royal victory); one who came from Kilnsey (Cynel’s island), in Yorkshire or from Kingsley (the king's wood), the name of several places in England.
Probably Kilnsey, co. York, by the suppression of I.
From the Danish, Kinzi; a personal name Kynsy, Bishop of Lichfield, A.D. 960.
The Kinseys possessed part of the manor of Blackden from the 16th to the present century (O.).
