I cannot find the name Heyward. It is my son's middle name, and he is supposed to find the meaning of it. This was also his grandfather's first name, and his uncle's middle name. Thank you.

Hedge . . .
The 'hay' element in Old English names doesn't mean 'hedge' - it is usually from heg, meaning "hay" (funny, that :-D).
Most name books are notoriously inaccurate, usually going by the "if we don't know or don't like it we'll make it up, no-one will know any better" principle!
