Horst (given name)

Horst is a male first name.

Origin

The oldest evidence for the name Horst comes from the Low German " World Chronicle " of Dietrich Engelhus from the year 1424; there, the Anglo-Saxon army leader Horsa is so named. Whether it is an approximation to his brother Hengist the name ( " Stallion" ) is, or at the Old High German hurst ( " Horst " in the sense of " shrubbery, bushes, hedges, woods " ), is unclear. The name of Horsa goes back to Old English hors (English horse, which corresponds to the German Ross).
