Släkthistoria för Follin
Follin Vad efternamn betyder
English: perhaps from an unattested Old French word folin ‘little fool’ which would be a hypocoristic form of fol(l)et ‘fool jester’ (see Follett compare 4 below). Compare Follen. Irish: variant of Fallon. Swedish and Danish: ornamental name from an unexplained first element + the adjectival suffix -in a derivative of Latin -in(i)us ‘relating to’. French: nickname from a derivative of Old French fol ‘mad stupid’.
