Hoy

The Noble Tribe of Hoy represented here by Lord John, Seneschal of Hoy. The Hoy surname is a local name derived from the name of the Orkney Island of Hoy, written in the 13th as "Haey," meaning "high island." Hoy is the second largest island in the Orkney Islands, located off the northeastern coast of Scotland. There is also thought to have been a place so named near the England- Scotland border, but it no longer exists.
