Name Meaning
English: habitational name from one or more places so named, such as Hendon (Middlesex), Henden in Sundridge, Handen in Aldington, a lost Henden in Woodchurch (all Kent), a lost Hendon in Hellingly (Sussex), and Hendon in Luffincott (Devon). There is also a place of this name in Durham, but this is probably not a source of the modern surname. The Kent and Sussex placenames derive from Old English hēan, dative form of hēah ‘high’, + denn ‘pasture’, while the other placenames come from Old English hēan + dūn ‘hill’.
