Hine is a surname deriving from Middle English.

Etymology

According to the Oxford Dictionary of Family Names in Britain and Ireland , the modern name Hine and its variants derive from the Middle English word hine (with the addition of the genitive -s case ending in forms like Hines , implying that the name-bearer was the child of a father called Hine, or addition of -s on the analogy of such names). This occupational name derives from Old English hīne ('household servant, farm labourer'), but in the Middle English period could also mean 'farm manager' and also be used of high-status people serving in a lordly household.
