Last name origins & meanings:
- Finnish: either from a Finnish form of the Germanic personal
name Heinrich (see Henry) or an ornamental name from
heinä ‘hay’. During the name conversion movement in the 19th
and early 20th centuries, many Finnish families with Swedish names
such as Hahl, Hammar, and Henriksson adopted the
name Heino. In the U.S. it is also found as a shortened form of
Heinonen.
- German and Jewish (Ashkenazic): from a pet
form of Heinrich.
