Watkins Genealogy & History
Watkins is a Welsh surname, also found in England, Ireland and Scotland. The surname is derived from the medieval German name "Waldhar" ("wald", meaning rule, and "heri", meaning army), as were the surnames Walters, Waters, Watson, and Watts. "Wat" is a pet form of Walter and "kins" is a patronymic or diminutive suffix, indicating son of Wat. Watkins family history dates to feudal times in Breconshire, Wales, where they had a family seat, and to Jamestown, Virginia, in America in 1607. The family motto "pen-aur-y-chalon wir" means "a golden head and a true heart". Watkins genealogy includes variations Gwatkins, Watkinson, Watkiss, Watleinnes, Wattins, and Wattkyns.
