The lastname is a variation of the Bodkin. A younger son of the Fitzgeralds of Desmond and Kildare settled in Connaught in the XIII. century, and obtained, as was not then uncommon, a sobriquet which usurped the place of a surname, and so was handed down. This was Bawdekin, probably from his having affected to dress in the costly material of silk and tissue of gold, so popular in that age under the name of baudkin. The Bodkins still use the "Crom-a-boo" motto of the Fitzgeralds. The Bokekin of the Hundred Rolls is probably from a different source.
