The surname Hopkins is of English origin and is derived from the diminutive form of the given name "Hob," which is a medieval diminutive of "Robert." The name means "son of Hob" or "little Hob." It can also be associated with the Old English word "copp," meaning "a hill," suggesting a geographical connection. Overall, it reflects a patronymic lineage common in surnames from that era.

Why does the university johns Hopkins have an s after each name?

It is named after a man whose name really was Johns Hopkins. "Johns" was a family name, coming from the surname of one of his ancestors. "Hopkins" (with an s) is a common English surname. In 1873 he (Johns Hopkins) left 8 million dollars for the foundation of the school. That is still a lot of money by today's standards. It must have seemed like all the money in the world back then. When you have that kind of money, you can have an eccentric name.
