I am looking for any information about the surname Kerin - wher does it come from; has it any meaning; etc.
In the region of Krško (Slovenia (Ex-YU)-not to be mixed up with Slowakia!!!)is the most frequent familiy name Kerin. It is also in a way a kind of an "unusal" name, because the word itself has no slavic roots or meaning, neither in german. I tried several times to figure out where it comes from, but unfortunately without succes. I found some "Kerin" in Australia, Canada and the USA, but the track leads to Ireland.
So, can anyone tell me something aboute my surname?
