Last Name APLIN

Summary/Contribute


Meaning The son of Appoline. The homily 'Against the perils of Idolatry' says: 'All diseases have their special saints as gods, the curers of them: the toothache, St Appoline.' This was the usual English form of Appolonia, a martyr at Alexandria, who, among other tortures, had all her teeth beaten out. The second possibility is 'the son of Abel,' from diminutive Abelin, sharpened to Apelin. The third option is 'the son of Lyon,' a Welsh personal name, whence the patr. ap-Lyon. This undoubtedly became Applin, and represents the Applins of Somerset, Hereford, and south-west England generally.
