This famous surname spelt in many forms including Pain, Payn, Payne, Paine, Paines, Paynes, Pagan, Pagon and Fitzpayn, is medieval English but of French and ultimately Roman origins. It derives from the pre 7th century personal name "Pagen", itself from the word "paien" and the earlier Latin "paganus". The original meaning was a villager or rustic, and later a heathen! Curiously this unusual background does not seem to have proved a bar to its popularity as a Christian name. In England it is first recorded in the famous Domesday Book of 1086, with that of Edmund filius Pagen of Somerset, whilst Reginoldus filius Pain appears in the Knight Templars (Crusader) register of Lincolnshire in 1185. Other recordings taken from early surviving rolls and charters include Jone Pane of Worcester in 1190, Stephen Paynes of London, in the Patent Rolls of 1230, John Pagan of Worcester, in the Hundred Rolls of 1275, and Roberd le Fitzpayn of Lancashire in 1305. Amongst the earliest recordings of colonists in the New World is that of Susanna Pain, the daughter of Robert and Elisabeth Pain. She was baptised in the parish of St. Michael's, Barbados, on August 5th 1678. A coat of arms associated with the family name was granted on January 12th 1586 by Queen Elizabeth 1st (1558 - 1603). It has the blazon of a gold shield, charged with three golden heraldic roses on a bend engrailed between two cotises. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was sometimes known as the Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.
Margie was one of my best friends and I could trust her with anything. She died 13 years ago today 27 February 2000.
She and I had so much fun together esp when her and her kids (Denise and Grant) lived in the caravan park at Lachlan View here in Forbes. Me and Denise are like sisters and sadly I haven't seen Grant for years but Denise hears from him sometimes
She died from bowel cancer and they only found it not long befre she died. The drs didn't bother looking broperly as she was at the drs for the last 6 months of her life asking them what is wrong with her. The drs were assholes!
I couldn't go to her funeral or visit her in the hospital in Orange as i was pregnant with Lily and I had really bad morning sickness. Denise was pregnant too with her son.
I wish Margie could have seen Lily and Denise's kids.
Rest in peace my friend and know that I love you and miss you every day Margie!!!!!
It rained this weekend and it was nice! I love rain when I am relaxing and it helps me sleep.
Church was good today and saw some people that havn't been able to come for a while so I am happy!
Lily and 3 other kids are going to Sydney on Saturday with Lynda. They are going to Release which is a kids thing. This will be Lily's last time as you can't go after 12 yr old. In the Easter holidays she is goin g to Discovery Camp too and she loves going there.
Lily is looking forward to school this week and I am glad! She loves high school.
P is for PAYNE. That’s spelled P-A-Y-N-E don’t you know, not PAIN, PAINE, PANE or any other way, ok!
These days most people are familiar with someone who is called Payne, whether it’s a last name or a first name, like the late Payne Stewart. They might have also come across the name through the video game Max Payne, but whatever the reason, it’s a far more common surname these days and people generally know how to spell it as well.

It was a morning like any other morning. Or so it seemed. The weather was perfect in Orlando that day; October 25, 1999. I was in my office at SunJet Aviation, when one of my pilots, Captain Michael Kling, a retired United States Air Force Major, came in and sat down. We had a cup of coffee and he told me of his upcoming flight to Haiti. When he was off duty, he would fly a big ole rickety cargo plane full of medicine, clothes and food, pro bono, for a Christian mission he was involved in. But today, Captain Kling was to pick up a regular client of ours 12 minutes away at the Orlando International Airport, and take them to Dallas in one of the Learjet 35s we operated. The client was Leader Enterprises, an Orlando sports agency.

One Direction'sLiam Payne, 19, is said to be "devastated" after his live-in girlfriend, 24-year-old dancer Danielle Peazer, broke up with him because she could no longer take dealing with his demanding work schedule and the hateful One Direction fans who would bully and harass her, especially on the Internet.
