About the Hyndman Family Tartan
The Hyndman name is understood to come from the old Scots hyne or hind, meaning a farm servant or ploughman — so a hyndman was one who worked the land for another. Names of this kind, drawn from the work a man did, are among the oldest in the Scottish Lowlands.
As a family name rather than a Highland clan, Hyndman is most fittingly matched with a Scottish district tartan. This collection brings a fitting tartan into wearable apparel, accessories, home decor and heritage gifts.
Hyndman Tartan Pattern and Colours
This collection draws on cool teals and greens with darker lines — the colours of Ayrshire pasture and the firth beyond, fitting for a name born of the farming country of the west.
Hyndman Heritage
The name is recorded in the west of Scotland from early times, above all in Ayrshire and Renfrewshire, where the good dairy land supported farming families through the centuries. In the Lowland countryside the hind held a settled place in the working of a farm, and the name passed down as surnames took hold.
In the seventeenth century many west-country families crossed to Ulster in the Plantation, and the Hyndman name became established in the north of Ireland, from where it travelled on to America and the wider world. It remains a name of the Clyde coast and the Ulster counties alike.
