Meaning:

Herish is a variant form of the Herrick. This name was formerly spelt Eyryk, Eyrik, Eyrick, and Heyricke. Dean Swift, whose father married a lady of this family, informs us that "there is a tradition that the most ancient family of the Ericks derive lineage from Erick the Forester, a great commander, who raised an army to oppose the invasion of William the Conqueror, by whom he was vanquished, but afterwards employed to command that prince's forces, and in his old age retired to his house in Leicestershire, where his family hath continued ever since." Quoted in B.L.G.

Form of the Earwaker. This apparently absurd name may, with great probability, be derived from the German Herr-Nacker, "gallant lord," or "noble sir." Domesday, however, shows us a previous tenant in Devon, who rejoiced in the appellation of Eureuuacre.
