Does anyone know where the given name Hazen comes from. Three male ancestors I am researching were called by this name.

Hazen is a rare English surname. I can't find it in any of my written surname dictionaries, but I did find the following geneology site for the Hazen family which seems to have better references and research than most such sites. It explains that Hazen was probably originally a place name meaning "end of the hedge."

Thank you very much for that info. I had searched online but never found that page. It has been a family mystery as to where this name came from. Other descendents have been given family surnames over the years, so this would follow that pattern. I thank you again.
