From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Scoto-Norman surname Sinclair comes from the Clan Sinclair , whose progenitors moved to Scotland and were given the land of Roslin, Midlothian by the King of Scots.
The style "Sinclair" is the most common. It has its origins in Scotland and is a derivation of the original French de Saint-Clair , although the name has also been styled "Santoclair", "de St. Clair", "Sainclair", "Synklar" and many more across the centuries.
