Name Dictionary from Around the World
Origin: English
* As an English surname, from Old English pinca (“chaffinch”). This would not be a native Germanic inheritance as the expected form would be finc, thus probably borrowed or contaminated from Vulgar Latin *pincio (see French pinson) and its related parallels. * Also as an English surname, from rare Middle English pink (“something small”), presumably related to pinkie. * As a German occupational surname for a blacksmith, from imitative pink(e)pank, after the sound of hammering.
