Clan Akins

There is no Clan Akins with a chief of its own: the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs lists no Akins chief, and the Council of Scottish Clans & Associations (COSCA) lists Akins among the surnames of Clan Gordon, alongside Aiken, Aitken and Akin. Electric Scotland instead connects the name to Kyle Akin, the strait between Skye and the mainland, and records the first use of Akins as a surname in 1405.

The Akins Story

  1. 1405

    'John of Akyne', a Scottish sea merchant, seeks restitution after his ship is pirated[2]

  2. c.1609

    Members of the name are among the Scots settling in Ulster from 1609[2]

  3. 1717-1776

    Some 250,000 Ulster Scots emigrate to America, where the name is now strongest[2]

Clan Akins Today

ChiefAkins has no chief of its own. The Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs lists no Akins chief, and COSCA lists Akins among the surnames of Clan Gordon, whose chief it gives as Granville Charles Gomer Gordon, 13th Marquess of Huntly.

Questions about Clan Akins

Is there a Clan Akins?

No. There is no Clan Akins and no Akins chief: the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs lists none, and COSCA lists Akins among the surnames of Clan Gordon.

Where does the name Akins come from?

Two different accounts exist. COSCA lists Akins, with Aiken, Aitken and Akin, among the surnames of Clan Gordon, while Electric Scotland links the name to Kyle Akin (Gaelic Caol Acain, 'the Strait of Hakon'), the strait named after King Hakon IV of Norway, whose fleet passed through on its way to the Battle of Largs in 1263.

Who is the earliest recorded person with this name?

'John of Akyne', a Scottish sea merchant whose ship was pirated by Laurence Tuttebury of Hull; his claim for restitution in 1405 is the first recorded use of the name as a surname.

Did people named Akins leave Scotland?

Electric Scotland records that members of the name were among the thousands of Scots who settled in Ulster after 1609, and that the name is now strongest in the United States, to which some 250,000 Ulster Scots emigrated between 1717 and 1776.
