Re: Bint
Bint is also an English surname. I can only guess at it's meaning, and I'd go for it being a regional pronunciation of Bent. This is also an English surname, from a place name. The literal meaning is "bent grass", a type of course grass, I believe. So the place name would be acquired because of the presence of bent grass.
There is a farm called Bint's Farm in Oxfordshire, presumably after a family that lived there.
