Dreghorn Family History
Dreghorn Name Meaning
from Dreghorn (Ayrs or Colinton Midlothian). This name may be from Old English *dræg-ærn ‘a drag-house’ i.e. a building at a steep incline or a neck of land between waters where haulage is required. The first element must be in the Scots form dreg since the Old English form gives modern English dray.
