Etymology

Chapin is a family name that likely began as a simple label for a person, job, or place long ago and then became the family's surname. A helpful way to remember it is to think of the small word chap (a familiar word for 'man' or 'person') plus the ending -in, so Chapin is a name that marks a family line passed down through generations.
