Origin of the Name Hallion



The origin of the name Hallion was found in the allfamilycrests.com archives. Meaning 'handsome, harmonious one', variants of the name Hallion include Hallin, Alleine, Alleyne, Allin, Alland, Allenson and Allanson. This name came to England with Alan Fergeant, Count of Brittany, France , spreading to Ireland , Scotland and Wales in early times and is found in many mediaeval manuscripts in the above countries. Examples of such are a Henry Aleyn, of England , who was recorded in the 'Hundred Rolls' in the year 1273 and in Scotland a John Aleyn was Burgess of Montrose in the year 1296.
Names were recorded in these ancient documents to make it easier for their overlords to collect taxes and to keep records of the population at any given time. When the overlords acquired land by either force or gifts from their rulers, they created charters of ownership for themselves and their vassals. It was by creating, maintaining and updating these reference books that they were able to maintain their authority and enforce laws.
In Ireland the Hallions and Allens are a branch of the Scottish Campbells who brought the name to Ulster . Hallion can also be derived from the Gaelic O'hAilin sept of Ormond.
The Hallion coat of arms came into existence centuries ago. The process of creating coats of arms (also often called family crests) began in the eleventh century although a form of Proto-Heraldry may have existed in some countries prior to this. The new art of Heraldry made it possible for families and even individual family members to have their very own coat of arms, including all Hallion descendants.
