The surname Wilkins is of English origin and is derived from the given name "William," which was a popular name in medieval England. The name "William" itself comes from the Germanic elements "wil," meaning "desire," and "helm," meaning "helmet" or "protection." The name Wilkins means "son of William" or "descendant of William." It is important to note that while the surname Wilkins is primarily associated with English origins, there are instances of the name being of Irish descent as well. In Ireland, the surname Wilkins is believed to have been introduced by settlers from England during the medieval period. These settlers often intermarried with Irish inhabitants, leading to the adoption of English surnames by some individuals of Irish descent. During the 17th and 18th centuries, there was a significant migration of people from England to Ireland, particularly in the Ulster region. This migration was driven by various factors, including economic opportunities and religious conflicts. As a result, some individuals with the surname Wilkins may have Irish ancestry due to this migration. Over time, many individuals with the surname Wilkins migrated from Ireland to other parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, among others. Today, the surname Wilkins can be found in various countries and is often associated with individuals of both English and Irish heritage.
