Adin

Adin

Adin is an uncommon family name found today in England, the United States (particularly New York City), New Zealand, Sweden, Spain, Turkey and Israel. Because the name occurs in the Old Testament, it has been suggested that the name has Jewish origins since it is mentioned in the Bible four times. However, the Jewish Genealogical Society of Great Britain have no records of this as a Jewish Surname. The Consolidated Jewish Surname Index of U.S.-based Avotaynu indicates Adin is a Jewish surname that existed in Poland and Belarus. But this may be a phonetic coincidence since a name with so few letters might exist in every culture.

"Who's who in the Old Testament together with the Apocrytha" by Joan Comay states that Adin (Heb. 'delicate')1. date unknown.Ancestor of a family of Judah who returned with Zerubbabel from Exile in Babylon. [Ezra 2:15; 8:6; Neh. 7:20] .

The International Genealogical Index charts migration of the Adin family name throughout England from Great Wigborough, Essex in 1567, to the midlands in the late 1600s, in particular Staffordshire and Derbyshire, followed by migration to Manchester in the 1840s during the Industrial Revolution and onto the U.S. Some branches remained in Derbyshire until they emigrated to New Zealand.
