where does the surname henning originate
Last name: Haining. Recorded as Haining, Hainning, Haning, Hanning, and Henning, this is a Scottish surname. It is believed to originate from a place called 'The lands of Haynyng', thought to have been in the county of Dumfriesshire, where the name has some popularity. However it is quite possible that the name is locational as there are two places from which the name could have originated. These are Haining Castle in Stirlingshire, or The Haining, a village in Selkirk. Locational surnames are 'from' names. That is to say names given to people after they left their original village to move somewhere else.
