Origins Available: English, Irish Where did the English Hearne family come from? What is the English Hearne family crest and coat of arms? When did the Hearne family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Hearne family history? The distinguished English surname Hearne comes from several different origins. Firstly, it is derived from the Old English "hyrne," meaning "nook, corner;" in this instance, the name would have been originally borne by someone who lived in a corner residence. Alternatively, the name may be derived from a place name; there is a town called Herne in Kent and a Hirn in Hampshire, and the progenitor of the name may have hailed from one of these towns. Finally, the name may be a variant of the surname Heron.The English language only became standardized in the last few centuries; therefore, spelling variations are common among early Anglo-Saxon names. As the form of the English language changed, even the spelling of literate people's names evolved. Hearne has been recorded under many different variations, including Hern, Herne, Hearn, Hearne, Hurn, Hurne, Harn and others. First found in the southern counties of England. The multiple possible origins make it likely that the surname emerged independently in different counties during the Middle Ages, thus creating several early branches of the Hearne family.

Those hardy settlers that survived the journey often went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed.
