My Swine Family


The

Mouser

Swine family name

is either an occupational name for a vermin controller, or more likely in the Middle Ages was a nickname. It is found primarily in the East Anglia, specifically Norfolk and Suffolk

is an ancient surname of scandinavian origin. It is derived from the Old Norse male given name "Sveinn", Middle English "Swein", meaning boy servant or boy attendant but often used of a swineherd or young rustic labourer. The name is actually recorded prior to Domesday, has appear variously as "Suein, Suen, Suuain, Suan" and "Suuan". Another potential origin found in Scotland is a shortened form of the Olde English pre 7th Century "Sigewine" (Middle English "Siwine"), a personal name composed of the elements "sige", wise, and "wine", friend.
