Hm I know that ancestors on my mom's side came from England to here(America) at some point. I looked it up and apparently there's a few different things it could mean: "The name was derived from the Old Norman name HEREWARD, and meant army-power.", could be named after a place it mentioned, etc.
For my mom's maiden name I found: "It is generally accepted as deriving from the personal name Nicholas, itself of Ancient Greek origins"
