ArchivesWHAT DOES IT MEAN?!?!?!?!?!
What's my surname (Greenho) mean? All I know is that it's English, 'cause I looked it up on another website, but they didn't give me the meaning. Anyone know? Please tell me!

I split the name up and may have come up with a meaning ...
Green is obvious, but 'ho' could be condensed from 'hough' ...here's what I found ...
English: habitational name from any of various places, for example in Cheshire and Derbyshire, so named from Old English hôh ‘spur of a hill’ (literally ‘heel’). This widespread surname is especially common in Lancashire.
