Hepburn is an Anglo - Scottish family name that is also associated with a variety of famous personages, eponyms, places, and things. Although a Scottish name its origins are widely suspected to lie south of the border in the north of England. Specifically, the name is thought to have derived from either the town of Hebron or Hebburn, both of which are in the Northumberland area. The origins of the name are suggested to be the same as that of Hebborne from the Anglo-Saxon words heah, meaning high and byrgen, meaning burial place.

Next to Chillingham Castle there remains a Bastle Tower where the family originated. This was the seat of a line of the family until the eighteenth century when that branch died out having left only a female heir. However, it is as the Earls of Bothwell that the Hepburn family are perhaps best remembered. This branch of the family originated in Lothian when a Hepburn was granted land having saved the Earl of March from a horse that had lost control. This family first became the Lords of Hailes before being granted the Earldom of Bothwell.

There were also Hepburns of Waughton, thought by some to have branched off from the Hailes line, thought by others to predate it. Another line was the Hepburns of Beanston, and yet another was the Hepburns of Athelstaneford. All of these families were prominent in various ways at various junctures of Scottish history, but all were primarily located around the East Lothian area.

-'''Hepburn''' is an [[England|Anglo]] - [[Scotland|Scottish]] family name that is also associated with a variety of famous personages, [[eponym]]s, places, and things.  Although a [[Scotland|Scottish]] name its origins are widely suspected to lie south of the border in the north of [[England]].  Specifically, the name is thought to have derived from either the town of [[Hebron, Northumberland|Hebron]] or [[Hebburn]], both of which are in the [[Northumberland]] area.  The origins of the name are suggested to be the same as that of Hebborne from the [[Old English language|Anglo-Saxon]] words ''heah'', meaning high and ''byrgen'', meaning burial place.  Alternatively it could mean something along the lines of "high place beside the water", as the word ''burn'' is a still widely used [[Scots language|Scots]] word to mean river. However it is more likley that the name came from the famous Bruno Hairpin, the badger hunter of Fife. The story goes that Brunos son, Cuthbert, fled from his father, who everybody persecuted, and later commited scuicide when his identity was found out by his gay husband. His son, fled to Azerbaijan, and was renamed Aliyev Hepburn.
