Hacon Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from the name of an ancestor. 'the son of Hacon'(allied to Hake, q.v). In Domesday the forms are Hacon, Hertfordshire; Hacun, Wiltshire and Nottinghamshire. Lower writes,' Hacon: a family so surnamed reside at Swaffham, Norfolk, and are doubtless of Norse extraction. Hacon the Good and Hacon the Broad shouldered occur among the kings of Norway.' Why the Norfolk Hacons should be of 'Norse extraction' because the font-name Hacon was popular in England in the 12th and 13th centuries is not easy to see. Still more unfortunate is the writer in a further remark: 'In the Hundred Rolls for Suffolk we find mentioned one Semannus Hacon, "Hacon the Sailor," which looks sufficiently Norwegian. This is to put the cart before the horse with a vengeance, for Semannus is the font-name and Hacon the surname. As a font-name Semannus is simply the Latinized Seman, still surviving in the surname Seaman, which see. But this 'Norse extraction' is no better nor worse than a hundred conjectures in print at this moment. compare Haconby, a parish in Lincolnshire Mr. Freeman (Norman Conquest) writes, under date 1052, 'According to another account, Godwine, on his reconciliation with Eadward, gave hostages to the king for his good behaviour in the persons of his youngest son Wulfnoth and his grandson Hakon, the son of Swegen.'
