Background: Hepburn is a Scottish family name that is also associated with a variety of famous personages, eponyms, places, and things. Whilst a Scottish name, its origins are widely suspected to lie south of the border in the north of England. Specifically, the name is thought to have derived from either the town of Hebron or Hebburn, both of which are in the Northumberland area. The origins of the name are suggested to be the same as that of Hebburn from the Anglo-Saxon words heah, meaning high and byrgen, meaning burial place. Alternatively it could mean something along the lines of "high place beside the water", as the word burn is a still widely used Scots word to mean river. Variations: Hapburn, Hebburn, Hopburn, Hepburn, Hepburne, Adinston, Hebbourn.
