Wynen Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

A correspondent observes that, "the name of Wynen is of Dutch derivation. The family date from the XIV. century, a poet standing at the head of our genealogical tree. There is, as you well know, a place called Wynen-Dale in Holland, where one of Marlborough's victories was gained.
