[Meaning & History
From the Middle English personal name HEIN/Heyne. This is derived from the Germanic personal name HAGANO, originally a byname meaning ‘hawthorn’. It is found in England before the Conquest, but was popularized by the Normans. In the Danelaw, it may be derived from Old Norse HAGNI, [Hogni), a Scandinavianized version of the same name.
