Wine

Discussion of the name

Wine is an Old English masculine name based on the element wine ‘friend, protector, lord’; the possibility that it represents a shortened form of a dithematic name in ‑wine cannot be discounted, but it is treated here as an etymon in its own right.

There are 36 entries (nos. 1-18 and 20-37) for the name Wine in the PASE corpus and so the name should be regarded as common, especially since the element wine occurs frequently in the formation of other names. Wine 1-18, 20-22 occur between the mid-seventh and early eleventh centuries, Wine 23 is a catch-all category for those named in DB and Wine 34-37 represent moneyers who either pre-date or do not appear in the Domesday records.
