Etymology
This would seem to derive from an OE Hēaningatūn , but the ultimate history of such a name is entirely obscure. No personal name Hean is on record. Hean , often quoted as the name of the first abbot of Abingdon, is really an oblique case of Hæha . OE hēan , 'low, abject, mean,' could hardly give rise to a personal name. For the development cf. Danbury and Hanningfield (PN Ess 248, 250–1).
