Hossy meaning | Last name Hossy origin

A variant form of Hussey. One who wore hose; one who came from Houssay meaning "holly grove," in Normandy, or from Housay, in Scotland.

The lastname is a form of Hosey. See Hussey or Hosatus - According to Stapleton's Rotuli Scaccarii Normanniæ, Osbert de H., who was living in 1180, was so named from le Hozu, a fief in the parish of Grand Que villy near Rouen. And one Henry de la Hossé or Heuzé held, inter alias, the lands of Hossé. Ibid. Will. de Hosa occurs as witness to a deed of King Stephen soon after his accession. In an old account of the Hussey family, the name is said to be "quasi de Hosa-from a boot or buskin," and the crest borne was a boot. The ordinary latinization is Hosatus, 'hosed or booted,' but this is merely a pun, for the head of the family, who in the XII century founded the abbey of Durford, county of Sussex, was otherwise written De Hoese—a plain proof that the name was of local origin. There is another locality now spelt Heussé in the department of La Manche.
