The proud and noble surname Marin (or variations thereof) is richly distinguished in the ancient records of the Italian city of Orvieto (southwest of Perugia), 1068 AD.

It is also discovered with some prominence in the Castileregion of medieval Spain.

The records in France find it's meaning to be "a sailor, a mariner", and is first found in the region of Brittany, prior to the NormanConquest of 1066 AD.

In England, the family name is first found in Hampshire, where they'd held family seat as Lords of theManor as early as the 12th century. One of them held "half a knight's fee" in 1166.
