Proper name [English]

Audio: En-au-Pink.ogg [Australia]
Etymology: * As an English surname, from Old English pinca (“chaffinch”). This would not be a native Germanic inheritance as the expected form would be finc, thus probably borrowed or contaminated from Vulgar Latin *pincio (see French pinson) and its related parallels. * Also as an English surname, from rare Middle English pink (“something small”), presumably related to pinkie. * As a German occupational surname for a blacksmith, from imitative pink(e)pank, after the sound of hammering. * As a Lower Sorbian surname, variant of Pjeńk, see Penk.

This would not be a native Germanic inheritance as the expected form would be finc, thus probably borrowed or contaminated from Vulgar Latin *pincio (see French pinson) and its related parallels.\n* Also as an English surname, from rare Middle English pink (“something small”), presumably related to pinkie.\n* As a German occupational surname for a blacksmith, from imitative pink(e)pank, after the sound of hammering.\n* As a Lower Sorbian surname, variant of Pjeńk, see Penk.",
