Johan de Horredene of Lanarkshire rendered homage in 1296 (Bain, II, p. 208). John of Hordene, a Scot, had a safe conduct into England, 1408 (Bain, IV, 766). The seal of Galfridus de Hordene (undated) is described by Macdonald (1348). From Horden in county Durham, spelled c. 1050 Hore-dene and Hore-tune, and in 1260 Horden.
(English) belonging to Hordern [the first element is the Old English heorde, a herd; the second is Old English ærm, a house, or for Old English hyrne, a corner] The Lancashire and Cheshire places of this name both occur in the 13th cent. as Horderne.
(English) It is perhaps tempting to see in this name the Old English hordern, ‘ treasury,’ 'storehouse but the probabilities are all against the theory; and the two places called Hordern are in the same North-Mercian region where the Old English ceorl- has yielded in place-names the form Chorl-. So that the meaning ‘ Herd-House ’ given in the Dict, must stand.
Dispensator, steward. Camd. From Anglo-Saxon hord, a hoard, or treasury.
