Surname Name Meaning, Origin, and Etymology
The Anglo-Scandinavian, German, and Dutch last name Horn has ten different origin theories and meanings. First, it could mean “the son of Horn”, deriving from the personal (first) name Horn, a given name of great antiquity born by a celebrated hero of old English/French literature. Second, it might be a locational name meaning “of Horne”, a parish in county Kent, England. Third, it may be a locational name deriving from “at the Horn” a sign name. In theories two and three, the place name could derive from the shape of the piece of the land they were on, a piece of ground shaped like a horn or hook. (ex. Horne in Surrey and Horn in Rutland). Fourth, it could be an occupational name, deriving from the Middle English, Middle Dutch, and Middle High German word horn, meaning horn, referring to a person who made small articles (ex. spoons and combs) out of animal horn. Fifth, it could be an occupational name for someone who played a musical instrument made from the horn of an animal. In the Middle Ages or medieval times, workers were sometimes summoned by the flowing of a horn. Sixth, it may have derived from a physical feature from a person (such as a hooked nose?). Seventh, it may denote a a cuckolded husbanded. Eighth, it could be a Norwegian habitational name for a person who lived on farms so named (there are over 10), deriving from the Old Norse word horn, meaning horn or spur of land. Ninth, it could be a Swedish topographic. Tenth, it may be a Jewish name derived from a ram’s horn (shofar in Hebrew), which was blown at certain ceremonies in the synagogue, the Jewish house or worship. Tenth, it could be a locational name taken from various placed in the Netherlands or Holland named Hoorn, as the Dutch word hoorn means point or nook, and the prefix Van means “from”.

History, Genealogy, and Ancestry
The famous genealogist Bernard Burke’s book “Peerage and Knights” discusses one branch of this family. It begins with a mention of Sir Alan Edgar Horne, 2nd Baronet, M.C. of Shackleford in county Surrey, who was a Lieutenant Colonel in the Pioneer Corps who served in World War I as Captain of the Surrey Yeomanry and World War II. He was born in 1889 and succeeded his father in 1941. He first married Henriette Kelly and had a daughter with her named Edith Margery Jay (who married Major Thomas Fiddian Reddaway). He later married Roslyn, daughter of John Bryan Robinson, and had a son with her named Anthony Edgar (born 1925, member of Royal Air Force, served in World War II, married Valentin Dudensing). Burke traces the lineage back to Edgar Horne of Witley in county Surrey, who had several issue, the elder son being Sir William Edgar Horne, 1st Baronet, Justice of Peace in county London and Deputy Lieutenant in county Sutherland, as well as Westminiser City Countil Member, Mayor, and Alderman, among other positions. He was born in 1856 and was created a Baronet in 1929. In 1886, he married Margery, daughter of George Anderson May, of Elford, county Stafford, and had children with her: Alan (2nd Baronet discussed above), William Guy (Major in the 10th Hussars who served in both World Wars), and Pyhyllis Margery (born 1888). They bore the following Horne Coat of Arms (mistakenly called Horne Family Crest by those unfamiliar with heraldry): Gules, a fret vair between two boars, passant one in chief and one in base or. Crest: A dexter arm vested gules, cuffed or, holding in the hand proper, a hunting horn and charged on the sleeve with a fret gold. Clubs: Marlborough-Windham; Cavalry.
