Bamkin Vad efternamn betyder
perhaps an altered form of Bampton alias Bamton. The not uncommon mis-hearing of /t/ as /k/ may have led to its re-modelling by folk etymology as a relationship name with the hypocoristic suffix -kin. The surname occurs historically in N Leics where Bampton is recorded in the 17th and 18th centuries.
