Meaning & History

Northern English: patronymic from the medieval personal name Harry.

FOREBEARS Harrison is an extremely common surname in northern England. One important and influential American family of bearers is descended from Benjamin Harrison, who emigrated from England to VA in 1633 or 1634. Ancestors include another Benjamin Harrison (?1726–91), who was an activist in the American Revolution and a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
