Meaning & Origins
From a Spanish name, originally Ferdinando (now Hernán), which is of Germanic (Visigothic) origin, derived from farð ‘journey’ (or possibly an altered form of frið ‘peace’) + nand ‘ready, prepared’. This was a traditional name in the royal families of Spain from an early date. It appeared in Britain in the 16th century, having been introduced by Roman Catholic supporters of Queen Mary I, who married Philip II of Spain in 1554.

North German: from Middle Low German hūs ‘house’ (see House 1), which may also refer to an important building such as the town hall, a castle, or a manor house, so that the name would indicate dwelling in close proximity to these, or perhaps it is an epithet for a servant who worked at a great house.
