Hopkins

Hopkins is an English, Welsh and Irish patronymic surname. The English name means "son of Hob". ''Hob'' was a diminutive of ''Robert'', itself deriving from the Germanic warrior name ''Hrod-berht'', translated as "renowned-fame". The Robert spelling was introduced to England after the Norman conquest of England.

The surname Hopkins or Hopcyn is associated with, and most common in, Wales. A typical Welsh patronym, it is first recorded as ''ab Popkyn'' (son of Hopkin) in Monmouth, in the early 17th century, and became a standardized surname under English law.

The name in Ireland is an Anglicisation of the Irish Gaelic surname ''Mac Oibicin''. Provided by Wikipedia
