Horn

The Horn family is a Swedish noble family from Finland, known since the 14th century. History Its first known member, Olof Mattsson, is documented between 1381 and 1415, having a seat in Halikko parish. His seal featured the figure of a drinking horn. Like other Swedish noble families of medieval origin, the family name was not used as a surname before the 16th century. Several descendants of Olof Mattsson have been ennobled under extended versions of the family name. Today, only one of these branches still exists, as recognized by the Swedish House of Nobility. After the Finnish war, the Horn family remained in Sweden, and was not introduced in the new Finnish House of Nobility.
