From the Surname Index:
"English or sometimes Irish. If English it is derived from a diminutive of the pre 10th century Old French personal name Lawrence or Laurence, itself derived from the Roman word meaning 'victory'. To this has been added the suffix "-kin", meaning a close relative or perhaps son of. If Irish it is a developed form of the Gaelic surname O'Lorcain, the prefix O' meaning 'male descendant of', with the suffix Lorcan, originally a personal name meaning fierce or cruel!"
AnswerThe suffix "-kin" often means "little" and makes a word or name diminutive. In that sense, Larkin can be seen as meaning "little lark"
