Hannaford is a rather uncommon surname worldwide, emanating from the small village of Hannaford in Devonshire, whose name may have originated as "Hanna's ford" and spread in the 16th-century to nearby towns such as Kingsbridge and Ashburton. Charles Hannaford and his son Charles Arthur Hannaford were English artists of note. Its occurrence in Australia may derive in part from the naturalist Samuel Hannaford, who contributed to the knowledge of Victorian and Tasmanian wildlife, and was editor of the Launceston Times for several years.[1]
