Yes- during the ancient days when the powerful Anglo-Saxon tribes ruled all of Britain, the English surname of Hosking was derived from the given name "Os", which was a shortened version of several given names, such as Osgood and Osbeorn. The surname is on record as having held a family seat from very ancient times in Herefordshire.
The family motto translates into English as: "Consider the end!"
