Irish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó hÍr or Ó hÉir ‘descendant of Ír’, a personal name, possibly meaning ‘long-lasting’, borne by a legendary ancestor of the north of Ireland. This name was always monosyllabic.
Irish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó hAichir ‘descendant of Aichear’, a personal name derived from the epithet aichear ‘fierce, sharp’. The personal name on which this surname is based was originally disyllabic. Although the Anglicized forms O'Hehir and Hehir still exist, particularly in Ireland, pronunciation in later northern Irish has caused Ó hAichir to fall together with another surname, based on a one-syllable personal name, as in sense 1 above.
English: nickname from Middle English hare, harr, here ‘hare’ (Old English hara, sometimes influenced by Old Norse heri). It may have denoted someone who could run fast or was timorous, or who bore some similarity to a hare in appearance, such as bulging eyes.
