Best Answer

if you are referring to the surname of Ginn - in Australia, this name can come from native aboriginal darug tribes. 'ginn' came from the aborginal word for woman but the whites turned it into being quite degoratory in nature. It is pronounced with a hard G.

it actually comes from a particular tribe of about 1500 people in the south sydney to marickville area that were all but wiped out by smallpox.

if you have no possible ties to aboriginality then it is also welsh & french derived & stems from a word that translate to being 'of skill, ability'

roll them together and you have a 'skillful woman' lol - that's a joke
