Etymology

From Middle English wyn, win, from Old English wīn, from Proto-West Germanic *wīn, from Proto-Germanic *wīną, either directly or via Latin vīnum (from Proto-Italic *wīnom) from Proto-Indo-European *wóyh₁nom (“wine”). Doublet of vine and vino.
Cognate with Saterland Frisian Wien, West Frisian wyn, Dutch wijn, German Wein, Danish, Norwegian Bokmål, Norwegian Nynorsk, and Swedish vin, Faroese and Icelandic vín.

A variant of wind with simplification of the final consonant cluster; for the vowel quality, compare find, mind, rind.
The same variation of the root wind- → win- is also found in dialectal North Germanic: vind- → vin-. Also compare English whine, Swedish vina.

From Jamaican Creole [Term?], related to wind (verb).

* As an English surname, from the noun wine.
* As a German surname, Americanized from Wein.
