ArchivesDoes anyone know the meaning/origin of the name Kinchen?(male)
I have heard that my many times over grandfather's name was Kinchen. Does anyone know what countries that name is from, or what it means? Any information would be appreciated.

Judging by the last part (chen) it sounds German. "Chen" means "little" in German names but it is mostly (always?) used for girls. As in Mädchen (girl), Gretchen (little Greta), Blümchen (little flower).
"Kin" is supposed to mean "gold" in Japanese.
Which country did your grandfather come from? Or what was his surname? This might give a clue.
