I have also noted the spelling of the surname and wonder if it is derived from the early spelling of the name in parish registers, the earliest reference to the name in my own family os a Jon Hynwod in 1563 in Medstead, Hants, another surname similar to this of course is Inwood, and one or two Inwoods are likely gap fillers, but it cannot be proven beyond doubt, as there was no regulaisation in spelling the varients to any one name are wide as they are varied!
