Horigan is variant form of Organ. See under Orgles - According to the definition of Halliwell, who cites from MS. Douce, 302, f. 3, the line, "He con harpe, he con syng, his orgles ben herd ful wyd." Orgel, German, an organ. Now Organ is also a well-recognised surname, and hence it would seem that the noblest of all musical instruments has lent its aid to swell the family nomenclature. In what way Orgles and Organ became family names it is hard to guess: perhaps the first bearers of them were medieval organists.
