Heofonum is the dative plural of the Old English (Anglo-Saxon) word heofon, meaning "heaven". Dative covered a lot of ground in Old English; heofonum could mean "to/for the heavens", or it could be the object of a preposition such as on ("in"). For example, the Lord's Prayer in Old English begins with the words Fæder ure þu þe eart on heofonum, literally "Father Our, Thou that art in [the] heavens".
