The surname Kitchin has its origins in Ireland. It is an anglicized version of the Gaelic surname Mac Caocháin, which means "son of Caochán." This Gaelic name is derived from the word "caoch," meaning "blind" or "one-eyed." It is believed to have been a nickname given to someone who had impaired vision.
The Kitchin surname first appeared in written records in the 17th century, and it was primarily found in the province of Ulster in Northern Ireland. Many people with this surname were descendants of Scottish settlers who migrated to Ireland during the 17th century.
During this time, Scotland and Ireland were under English rule, and there was a significant amount of migration between the two countries. Scottish settlers were encouraged to settle in Ireland, particularly in Ulster, to strengthen English influence in the region.
Over the centuries, the Kitchin surname has evolved and spread beyond Ireland. Many people with this surname emigrated to countries like the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, seeking better opportunities and a new start.
Today, individuals with the surname Kitchin can be found in various parts of the world, but it still holds a connection to its Irish origins.
