Facts About
Cain
Cain is thought to have been derived from the English word cane and this has given it two theoretical origins. Firstly it could have come about from a nickname for someone of a tall and thin stature, and in this way would have been used as a descriptive surname. It could also have been given as an occupational name given to a reed weaver, who would have weaved reeds or ‘canes’ into items such as baskets. |
