Horobin Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of Horobin.' I believe this is a small spot in the parish of Taxal, Derbyshire The following entries clearly prove that Horobin and Harrobin are one and the same name:

John Horabin, of Westhoughton, 1591: Wills at Chester.

Thomas Horabin, of Bolton, 1612: ibid.

Richard Horrobin, of Bolton, 1633: ibid.

William Horrobin, of Little Bolton, 1633: ibid.

1696. Baptised — Katherine, d. Thomas Harrabin: St. James, Clerkenwell.

1790. Married — John Horrabin and Sarah Bromfield: St. George, Hanover Square.

It will be seen that the Bolton Horobins first became Horrobin, and then Harrobin, as they exist to-day.
