Etymology
Middle English hernbem, from hern- (of uncertain meaning and origin) + bem "tree" — more at beam entry 1
Note: The tree name hornbeam is generally taken to be a compound of horn and the etymon represented by Modern English beam entry 1, which in Old English and early Middle English could mean "tree." However, the scant Middle English attestation—a single occurrence of the word in Chancery inquisitions as hernbem, and forms of the Hertfordshire place name Hornbeam Lane (Herinbemegatestret, Hernebemgate)—suggest that horn may have been a folk etymology from an earlier word.
First Known Use
14th century, in the meaning defined above
Time Traveler
The first known use of hornbeam was in the 14th century Phrases Containing hornbeam
