OK .. so how would you pronounce the name COYNE ?? My husband and I have always pronounced it 'Cohen' but I know some people who also pronounce it 'Coin'. It's not a huge deal .. we love the name and want to name our baby boy Coyne .. but we want to be sure it's pronounced 'Cohen' !! Any help would be greatly appreciated !!!!!! |

Why don't you 'coin' a name for him? |

I've heard it pronounced both Coyne like 'coin' and Kine like 'kind' as well. |

Coyne numerous: mainly Galway, also Midlands etc. Ir. Ó Cadhain, cadhan being a barnacle goose. They belonged to the Uí Fiachrach grouping of N Connacht. Two other synonyms are: Coen, Kyne, and it sometimes stands for Kilcoyne. IF. http://scripts.ireland.com/ancestor/surname/index.cfm?Surname=coyne&fuseaction=G o. Nora Barnicle being a famous Coyne then!!!!? James Joyce was her husband!She was from Galway if I'm not wrong? In Irish it is prounounced as in English coin Máirtín Ó Cadhain is a famous Irish langauge writer and political activist from Conenamara |

Ach ní ainm baiste é, an ea? I have never heard Coyne used as a given name in Ireland. Tháinig Nóra Barnacle ón gCladach i nGaillimh. |

"I have never heard Coyne used as a given name in Ireland". -aonghus how do you mean that sentance? Coyne theres lot of them around as surnames and pronounced as 'coin', but I'd imagine y'd know that, so i suspected you emant somthing different. |

"given name" = "first name" = (in the west esp. Ireland) Christian name The first post here was about calling somebody's son Coyne, pronounced Cohen (Hebrew for priest, by the way). |
