HEOROT
Surname or Lastname
English
English : habitational name from places in Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire, and Staffordshire called Hartwell, from Old English heorot ‘stag’, ‘hart’ + wella ‘spring’, ‘stream’. In some cases the surname may have arisen from Hartwell in Hartfield, Sussex or Hartwell in Lamerton, Devon.
Surname or Lastname
English (mainly northern)
English (mainly northern) : habitational name from any of various places so called. Several, in particular those in Hampshire, Kent, and Devon, are named from Old English heorot ‘hart’, ‘stag’ + lÄ“ah ‘wood’, ‘clearing’. One in Northumberland has as the second element Old English hlÄw ‘hill’, and one in Cumbria contains Old English clÄ â€˜claw’, in the sense of a tongue of land between two streams, + probably heard ‘hard’. The surname is widely distributed, but most common in Yorkshire, where it arose from a place near Haworth, West Yorkshire, also named with Old English heorot + lÄ“ah. As a Scottish name, it comes from the Cumbrian Hartley (see forebears note).Irish : shortened Anglicized form of or surname adopted as equivalent of Gaelic Ó hArtghaile ‘descendant of Artghal’, a personal name composed of the elements Art ‘bear’, ‘hero’ + gal ‘valor’.
Surname or Lastname
English
English : habitational name from places called Harford, in Gloucestershire and Devon. The former is named from Old English heorot ‘hart’ + ford ‘ford’, the latter has as its first element Old English here ‘army’. In some cases it may be an altered form of Hereford.Irish : mainly of English origin, an Anglo-Norman habitational name for someone from Hereford.
Surname or Lastname
English
English : of uncertain derivation. The 18th-century parish registers of Marske, North Yorkshire, record the surname Hartburn with the variant Harburn; Harben may be a further variant of this. If so, its origin is probably topographic or habitational, from East Hartburn in Stockton-on-Tees or Hartburn in Northumberland, both named from Old English heorot ‘hart’ + burna ‘steam’. However, this conjecture is not borne out by the distribution of the surname a century later, when it occurs chiefly in Cambridgeshire and London and also with a significant presence in the Channel Islands, perhaps suggesting that it could be a variant of Harpin.
Surname or Lastname
English (Dorset)
English (Dorset) : probably a habitational name from either of the places mentioned at Hairfield, or from Harvel near Rochester, Kent, named with Old English heorot ‘hart’, ‘stag’ + feld ‘open country’.
Surname or Lastname
English (West Midlands)
English (West Midlands) : habitational name from any of the places called Harthill, named with Old English heorot ‘hart’ + hyll ‘hill’. There are several places of this name, for example in Cheshire, Derbyshire, and South Yorkshire, but apparently none in the West Midlands. It is also possible that the surname represents a truncated derivative of Hartlebury in Worcestershire. This place name derives from the Old English personal name Heortla + Old English burh ‘fort’.German : Americanized spelling of Hartel or Härtel.
Surname or Lastname
English
English : habitational name from Hartshorne in Derbyshire or Hartshorn in Northumberland, named from Old English heorot ‘hart’, ‘stag’ + horn ‘horn’, i.e. hill with some fancied resemblance to a hart’s horn. Reaney suggests a further possibility: that it could come from the Middle English plant name harteshorn ‘hartshorn’, denoting either of two plants with leaves branched like a stag’s antlers: Senebiera coronopus and Plantago coronopus.

English : habitational name from Hartland in Devon, named in Old English as ‘estate (land) on the hart (heorot) peninsula (teg)’. The surname is now most frequent in the West Midlands and it may be that another, now lost, source is also involved.
Surname or Lastname
English
English : habitational name from any of the various places so called. The majority, with examples in at least fourteen counties, are named from Old English horh ‘mud’, ‘slime’ or horn ‘dirt’ + tūn ‘enclosure’, ‘settlement’.
