Help[Surname] Re: the meaning of american surname Golin
in reply to a message by Sagani
Sorry ...since no other answers, I went into my Indo-European Roots book ...the only thing I got (and please remember it is often far removed) is one word meaning "shining" which lead to the word 'gold' {among others} and another that meant "to swallow" which evolved into 'glut' {among others} .... just a shot at it ...

In Italy this surname comes from Venice region. It is probably a variant of Ugolin a first name coming from a latinized form of HUGH
HUGO, in italian Ugo.
But what about the swedish GOLIN?
