Herens meaning | Last name Herens origin

The lastname Herens is the variation of Herring. Possibly from the fish, and originally applied by way of sobriquet, since in the XIV. century we find some compounds of it, now apparently extinct; viz. Castherring, Schottenheryng, and Rotenheryng! It is more likely however to be an ancient Scandinavian personal name, whence the names of the parishes, etc., of Herringby, Herringfleet, Herringstone, Herringswell, and Herrington.
