Coyne

The Coyne Family represented here by Lord Mark, Earldom of Brigma and Seneschal of Coyne. Irish names tend to vary widely in their spelling and overall form. The original Gaelic form of the name Coyne is "O Cadhain," from the word "cadhan," which means wild goose. Kilcoyne, commonly seen as an alias of Coyne, is a patronymic name derived from the Gaelic name Mac Giolla Chaoine, denoting the son of a devotee of St. Caoin. Coen is also often the Anglicized version of the Gaelic name "O Comhdhain."
