Hearn Family
The Hearn family is a family of Anglo-Norman origin. The name's original spelling in the 11th century was Heron or Heroun. As early as the 17th century, the spellings Hearn, Hearne, and Harn would also appear in England and the United States. The Hearn family has sometimes been incorrectly linked with the Irish ancestral name Hearn. Origin The surname Hearn is thought to be derived from Hairun, a settlement near Rouen, Normandy. The name can be traced back to the English settlement after the Norman Conquest. The Clan Heron, a border-raiding clan along the Anglo-Scottish border, would settle at Chipchase Castle in the 17th century. History In England After the name's establishment in England from its Norman origin of Hairun in the eleventh century, numerous variations in the name's spelling would develop, including Heiron, Heron, and Herne. Alternate uses of the word occur in Old English as ''hyrne'', meaning a nook or a corner of land or in a bend. In a glossary originating f ...

Heron (surname)
Heron () is a surname originating in the British Isles and Normandy during the Middle Ages. Origin This name is believed to have more than one origin. In England, it is most commonly derived as nickname for a tall, thin man with long legs from Middle English heiroun/heyron itself coming from Old French hairon. It could also have designated a person who hunted birds, including herons. The surname may also be an habitual name; of Old English origin from Harome in North Yorkshire or Norman origin from Le Héron, near Rouen. In Ireland, this surname is often an Anglicised form of any one of three Irish Gaelic names: "O'hEarain", descendant of the feared one; "O'Huidhrin", descendant of the swarthy one; or "Mac GiollaChiarain", son of the servant of St. Ciaran. The name Heron can also come from ''Ó Eachthighearna'', which means "descendant of the horse lord". An early recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of William de Herun, which was dated 1150, in the "Pipe R ...

Hearn Generating Station
The Richard L. Hearn Generating Station (named after Richard Lankaster Hearn) is a decommissioned electrical generating station in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The plant was originally fired by coal, but later converted to burn natural gas. The plant has been described as "Pharaonic in scale", and encompasses cubic metres of space—large enough to fit 12 Parthenons inside. The plant is located at 440 Unwin Avenue in Toronto's Port Lands area, directly south of the foot of Carlaw Avenue, across the shipping channel and next to the recently opened Portlands Energy Centre. The Richard L. Hearn Generating Station, together with the nearby Ashbridges Bay Wastewater Treatment Plant sewage sludge incinerator stack and the Commissioners Street waste incinerator stack, stand as towering landmarks of a bygone industrial era in the Portlands area of Toronto (all three facilities are no longer in operation, but their towering smokestacks still stand). The property has been leased to Studios ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
