Origin: German

Meaning: From Pincino's village

Once a chirpy surname of French and German origin, Pinkney shines as a stand-out title for the baby with a pep in their step. This upbeat name is favored for boys and derives from the Germanic personal name Pincino. Pincino means “settlement” or “village,” bestowing the definition of “from Pincino’s village” on Pinkney. With its cheerful sound and movement on the tongue, the simple act of saying “Pinkney” can’t help but put a smile on one’s face.
