Harfoot Surname Definition:
HAREFOOT: Many names of places have 'Hare' for their initial syllable, and many others, 'foot,' as their termination. I think, however, that this surname had a figurative reference to swiftness of foot. We have an instance of this application in king Harold Harefoot; and at the present day the family name Pie-de-lihre exists in France.
