SURNAMES BEGINNING WITH "I"

[IKIN], [ILLSLEY], [INGRAM], [IRVIN], [ISAAC], [IVERS]

IKIN - An occasional family name which is thought to originate from the early first name Ida, with the "kin" suffix identifying a younger member of the family.

ILLSLEY - The suffix "ley" or "lea" is thought to originate from the Old English word meaning a "clearing".

INGRAM - The Old English word "Ing" is thought to mean "people" and in the singular form "ING" this is just as likely to be the appropriate interpretation for a surname prefix.

INGS - This suffix is thought to represent the Viking word for "marsh" or "meadow" and in the pluralized form is likely to be the correct interpretation for modern family names.

IRVIN - Thought to originate from the Welsh/Celtic word meaning "white river". The typically Scottish family name IRVING is said to originate from a description of "Green Water".

ISAACS - A Biblical name which no doubt arrived with the first Christian missionaries to Britain. Its use as a family name is indicated by the addition of the second "s", which identifies the link between both father and son.

IVERS - The family name may have its roots in the first name Ivor, which meant "Archer" and was thought to have a Gaelic foundation, originating from the name "Iomhair". The addition of the "S" reflects the link between father and son.
