Släkthistoria för Coyney
Coyney Vad efternamn betyder
perhaps from Coigny in Manche. Weston Coyney (Staffs) takes its manorial affix from the family of John Koyne (1242). Presumably the final -e of Koyne represents French -é usually written -y or -ey in English. However the name may have had an alternative form Coyne which is attested in the neigbouring village of Caverswall from the 16th to the 19th centuries. Coyney occurs in Weston until the late 16th century re-appearing in Caverswall in the late 18th century and in Weston in the early 1800s.
