Discussion of the name
Horling is probably an Old English masculine name derived, presumably as a byname, from an OE *hōrling that gave rise to the Middle English horling ‘adulterer’ recorded from c.1200 onwards (Redin 1919: 21; von Feilitzen 1937: 292); cf. OE hōrcwene ‘adulteress, whore’ (Toller 1898: 552).Bibliography
