A very old family of Anglo-Saxon origin. Beleived to have lived in Cheshire since before the Norman Conquest, most likely related to the Hollingsworths of the same area. Earliest known ancestor was Hugh Hollyn of Prestbury, Cheshire. It is an exceedingly rare surname, so, most people with this name are probably related.
