The Horry Family

Horry: Origin Norwegian, Possibly from the Old Norse "Orri" or "Orre"

DNA testing shows the current Horry generation is 12% Scandinavian, mostly Norwegian with some Swedish, so perhaps Orri was a Norse who settled in the Danelaw part of North Eastern England where we hail from. Notably, Eystein Orre was a Norwegian noble who was slain at the Battle of Stamford Bridge, we do not yet know if we are related.

Some sources say Horry is Scottish, Roman or even French. The spelling of names in history is a strange affair and it's likely all are true and several different names coalesced into Horry over the years. Best we can tell, we're the Norwegian ones.
