English (Yorkshire): variant of Hawkyard, a habitational name from Hawk Yard in Saddleworth (Yorkshire).
English: nickname from Middle English, Old French hagard ‘wild, untamed’. This word was adopted into Middle English as a technical term in falconry to denote a hawk that had been captured and trained when already fully grown, rather than being reared in captivity; the surname may have developed as a metonymic occupational name for a falconer.
English: possibly also a variant of Agar with prosthetic H- and excrescent -d.
