Harden Family History
Harden Name Meaning
English (mainly southeastern England): habitational name from
Harden in West Yorkshire, which gets its name from Old English
hara ‘hare’ or hær ‘rock’ + denu
‘valley’. Harden in Staffordshire, recorded in the Middle Ages as
Haworthyn, Harwerthyn (from Old English heah
‘high’ + worðign ‘enclosure’), was probably not reduced to
its modern form early enough to lie behind any examples of the
surname.Irish: reduced Anglicized form of Gaelic Mac
Giolla Deacair (see Hardy).North German:
patronymic from a short form of a Germanic personal name with the
first element hard ‘hardy’, ‘brave’, ‘strong’.
