Where the Howard name comes from
Howard is English, and the leading account sends it back to the French personal names Huard and Houard, which arrived with the Norman Conquest. Behind those is a Germanic source close to the Old High German Hugihard, heart-brave, or Hoh-ward, high defender. It has almost certainly been muddled along the way with the Anglo-Scandinavian Havardr, from har, high, and vardr, guardian. Two different languages, two different words, and both of them end up saying guardian.
