The English surname Heron originates in Normandy, arriving in England with the Norman Conquest of 1066 A.D. It's a nickname-type name, describing a long-legged person or a person of tall stature. It is first found deep within the early records of Northumberland, where they'd held a family seat. They were distinguished by Duke William of Normandy for their valued assistance in the Battle of Hastings, and granted lands.
