>>The origin of the Blevins Name.
>>Taken from research done by Bill Dewayne Blevins through 1977. The four
>>primary sources for surnames were: occupation, location, father's name, or
>>personal characteristics. The surname Blevins appears to be both patronymic
>>al and characteristic in origin, and is believed to be associated with a
>>Welsh word, "Bleddyn" meaning "little wolf". Dictionaries of surnames
>>indicate probable spelling variations of Blevins to be Bledgint, Blethyn,
>>Blevin, Pleaden, Pleven, Pleavin, Plevin, Plevins, Bledyn, and Blevans. The
>>later of which was apparently styled by Someone in the Daniel Blevans(ins)
>>family, most probably Stephen Ausborn(urn) Blevans born 10 Oct 1987. This
>>is the only use of the Blevans spelling we find.
