Facts About
Kearns
Kearns seems to have spate origins and meanings. It could be of German origin and come from the word ‘gern’ which is said to mean ‘yearning’ and was an element found in first names such as the now extinct ‘Kernwin’. Because of this its use as a surname could have been patronymic. However, in Germany it is also used as a locational surname, given to people from the town ‘Kern’. Alternatively it could be of Irish origin, where it is thought like the first name ‘Kierin’ to originate from a Gaelic word meaning ‘Dark One’, and in this case also it would probably have been patronymic. |
