Horse Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
Horse: The White Horse figured as a sign, and there is an entry “Walter de Whitehorse” in the Calendar of Patent Rolls in the Tower. There were also the Colt, the Palfrey, and the Charger. But the horse has not contributed much to our nomenclature directly, except under the French form, Cheval, which in English became Capel. Chaucer uses the word - “and gave him caples to his cart.” A quarryman on Dartmoor, from whom I took down many folk airs, was named Nankivell—i.e., the Valley of the Horse (Cornish). His mates called him “Old Capel.”
From Capel (Caballus) comes the surname Cable.
