Hassard Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'the Hansard,' a merchant of one of the Hanse towns, a member of the Hanseatic league. Lower, following Ferguson, says it is a personal name. This is quite possible, but so far as I am aware neither offers any evidence. My instances are from the East coast, which strongly suggests a Hanseatic origin. Luke Hansard, the founder of the Parliamentary Hansard, was born in Norwich in 1752 (Chambers' Encyc. v. 332). As will be seen below, his ancestors were in the same county five centuries earlier. Hassard and Hazard are perhaps modifications; but v. Hassard.
