Baines
Baines is a surname of English, Scottish or Welsh origin. It shares many of the same roots with the British surname Bains.〔Reaney, P.H. ''A Dictionary of British Surnames'' Routledge & Kegan Paul, 2nd edition (1976)〕〔Hanks, P. & Hodges, F. ''A Dictionary of Surnames'' Oxford University Press (1988)〕 It shares some roots with the British surname Bain.〔
==Derivation and Variants==
Baines has a number of different sources, several of them nicknames and another based on an occupation. In Scotland and the north of England the Old English word ''bān'' ('bone') became Middle English ''bān'' and ''bain''. It may have become a nickname in the plural, meaning 'bones' or '()legs' (''cf.'' modern German ''Bein'', also meaning both "bone" and "leg").〔 The Middle English ''bayn'', ''beyn'' and the Old Norse ''beinn'' meant 'straight' or 'direct', which may have become a nickname.〔 The Middle English ''bayne'' (and French ''bain'') meant 'bath'. This may have become an occupational surname for an attendant at a public bath.〔
Baines may also have Welsh roots, from the patronymic ''ab Einws'' ('son of Einws'). ''Einws'' is a shortened version of the Welsh name ''Ennion'', meaning 'Anvil'.〔
Variants of the surname Baines include Bains, Banes, Baynes and Bayns.〔〔
