Wind is a topographical surname, of English origin, for someone who lived near a pathway, alleyway, or road.[1][2] It is most popular in North East England, especially in Newcastle upon Tyne and Sunderland.[3] However, the surname is also popular in the Netherlands and Denmark. The surname has several spelling forms including Waind, Wind, Wynd, Wain and Wean.[4]
Origins
Wind originates from the Pre 7th century Olde English "gewind". It describes either a person who lived by a particulary windy area such as North East England or a "winding" road. In the medieval times Wind was possibly given to a speedy runner or messenger.
The surname Wind was first found in Lancashire, a ceremonial county in North West England, at Windle with Hardshaw, a township, in the parish and union of Prescot, hundred of West Derby. "Before the reign of John, Windhull gave name to a family, of whom was Edusa, widow of Alan de Windhull, who obtained from that king a summons for her dower against Alan de Windhull, son of the former."[5]
