An Etymological Dictionary of Family and Christian Names (1857) by William Arthur

For Huse, Howse, or Hessey. It bears the arms of Howes, which is armorially identified with Hussey. Geoffry de Hosa was of Berks 1194 (Rotuli Curiae Regis), and 1201 (Hardy, Obl. et fin.). In 13th cent. Bartholomew de la Huse was of the same county (Testa de Neville); and in 1322 Peter de la Huse or Hoese was returned from Berks for Knight Service (Parliamentary Writs). The family of Hulse is a branch, as appears by its arms. Hence the baronets of the name.
