The English Heron family name seems to be derived as a nickname surname, describing long-legged or tall persons. This surname emerged in Northumberland, England after the Norman Conquest of 1066 A.D.

However, the Irish branch of the family dates back to before the year 1000 in County Clare, with a Gaelic language rendering meaning "steed" and "lord".
