The name "Hackney" is believed to have originated from the Old English term "Hacquenee," which referred to a type of horse. In the medieval period, the area became known for its horse-related activities, including breeding and training. Over time, the name evolved to "Hackney," and the area transformed from rural farmland to a suburban district of London, retaining its equestrian heritage in its name.
