In Norfolk the name was confused with the Middle English personal name Hakun. It also developed to Hane and Hayne (see Hain ).
English: variant of Hacon with voicing of the intervocalic consonant, from the Middle English personal name Hacun (Old Norse Hákun, from ancient northern Germanic elements meaning ‘horse’ + ‘kindred’). Hacon is found mainly in Norfolk and Suffolk.
