Last Name HERING

Summary/Contribute


Meaning The son of Haring. It is observed that the prefix 'le' is never found in the early records, suggesting that the last name is not (at least in the majority of cases) a nickname taken from the fish. They are generally found inland also. It is quite certain, too, from such local names as Harrington, Herringhton, Herringham, Herringshaw, Herringswell, and Herringstone, that the personal title was of very early use. It may be regarded that most of Herrings are of fontal origin.
