Origin: Ireland, England
Meaning:

The form of Howard. This noble historical name has been a sore puzzle to etymologists. A writer in the Quarterly Rev. vol. CII. says, the family "may be Saxon, may be Danish." They are more probably of Norwegian origin. Havard or Haavard was a common personal name among the Northmen. "It appears," says Laing, "to be the English name Howard, and left by them in Northumberland and East Anglia." The seventeenth-century genealogists laboured hard to prove a Norman origin for this illustrious race, but authentic records extend back no farther than the XIII, century, when the Howards rose into eminence in Norfolk; though Houardus, the Essex under-tenant of Domesday may be cited on that side.

A variant form of Heward. Possibly a corruption of Howard, but more likely of Hayward. Hayward's Heath, county of Sussex, was formerly with rustics Heward's Hoth.

Hughart is the variant form of Howard. Descendant of Howard meaning "keeper of the sword"; May also bea corruption of Hayward.
