Name Meaning
English (Devon): habitational name from one of three places called Hannaford in Devon: in Swimbridge, Widecombe-in-the-Moor, and Kenn. The Swimbridge placename derives from the Old English personal name Hana or Old English hana ‘cock’ + ford ‘ford’. The Kenn placename is recorded as Hunaford in the 16th century and is of uncertain etymology. The Widecombe placename derives from the Old English personal name Hana + Old English worthig ‘enclosure’.
