Hanes

The Tribe of Hanes is represented here by Lord William, Seneschal of Hanes. The Hanes family name is linked to the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. Their name comes from the baptismal name for Haine. As the naming tradition grew in Europe baptismal names began to be introduced in many countries. Baptismal names were sometimes given in honour of Christian saints and other biblical figures. There are very few Christian countries in Europe that did not adopt surnames from these religious figures.
