Haimes
Haimes is an English language surname. Etymology According to the ''Oxford Dictionary of Family Names in Britain and Ireland'', the modern name ''Haimes'' originates in two different medieval names, which came to sound the same around the sixteenth century. In both cases, neither name originally ended in ''-s''; this was added later, sometimes perhaps as a genitive case ending. The first is the personal name ''Haim'': its use as a second name originated to indicate that a person was a child of someone called Haim. The earliest attested forms of this name occur in Old German, as ''Haimo''. This Old German name was borrowed into Old French, including into the Anglo-Norman dialect spoken in England, as ''Haim'', ''Haimes'' (in the nominative case), and ''Haimon'' (in the oblique case) — along with variant pronunciations and spellings, which became sources of English surnames like ''Hame'', ''Haim'', ''Haime'', ''Haimes'', ''Hains'', '' Haines'', ''Hayns'', ''Haynes'', ''Hammon'' a ...

Old English
Old English (, ), or Anglo-Saxon, is the earliest recorded form of the English language, spoken in England and southern and eastern Scotland in the early Middle Ages. It was brought to Great Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain, Anglo-Saxon settlers in the mid-5th century, and the first Old English literature, Old English literary works date from the mid-7th century. After the Norman conquest of 1066, English was replaced, for a time, by Anglo-Norman language, Anglo-Norman (a langues d'oïl, relative of French) as the language of the upper classes.

Genitive Case
In grammar, the genitive case (abbreviated ) is the grammatical case that marks a word, usually a noun, as modifying another word, also usually a noun—thus indicating an attributive relationship of one noun to the other noun. A genitive can also serve purposes indicating other relationships. For example, some verbs may feature arguments in the genitive case; and the genitive case may also have adverbial uses (see adverbial genitive). Genitive construction includes the genitive case, but is a broader category. Placing a modifying noun in the genitive case is one way of indicating that it is related to a head noun, in a genitive construction. However, there are other ways to indicate a genitive construction. For example, many Afroasiatic languages place the head noun (rather than the modifying noun) in the construct state. Possessive grammatical constructions, including the possessive case, may be regarded as a subset of genitive construction. For example, the genitive constru ...

Haynes (surname)
Haynes is a surname. Etymology According to the ''Oxford Dictionary of Family Names in Britain and Ireland'', the modern names ''Haine'', ''Hayne'', ''Haines'', ''Hains'', ''Hanes'', and ''Haynes'' all originate in four different medieval names, which came to sound the same. # The Middle English name ''Hain''.
