Most Common Surname Beginning with "H": Harris

The English, Irish and Scottish can claim the surname Harris as their own because its usage dates back to the eleventh century when the first name Harry became a popular nickname for Henry. Popular male first names tended to become popular surnames once taxation was started in Great Britain. Henry dates back before the seventh century and is translated as “home rule” from the Frankish “Henn ric” and was introduced after the Norman Conquest in 1066. The surname is believed to have originated with John Harry, who was recorded in 1273 in Buckinghamshire County, England. The surname Harris, a popular variation of Harry, soon followed and remains popular even today.
