Meaning of this name is unknown.

frisian says: Horjus is a misspelling of the original surname Horreus, that first appeared when the surname had to be officially registered during the occupation of Holland by Napoleon. The Horjus-members in the US and elsewhere in the world all stem from Dutch ancestors. The ancient Frisian surname Horreus, pronounced as 'Horjus', is a latinized version of 'Horre', meaning 'mudman'. The surname dates back to the Middle Ages. When members of the family started to study law, theology and medicine at the universities of Franeker and Delft, they latinized their surname. Wellknown ancestors of the family are the late-mediaeval jurist Rembertus Horreus and the theologians Petrus Horreus and Gerardus Horreus de Haas. Family emblems and coats of arms can be found on works of art and tombstones in Harlingen, Franeker, Waaxens, the Fries Museum in Leeuwarden and the Scheepvaart Museum in Sneek.

reinier horjus says: Horjus is the misspelled version of the ancient Frisian family name Horrëus. The misspelling took place during the Napoleonic era (see Arend Horjus) when everybody in Holland had to adopt an official surname. Horrëus in its turn is a latinized version of the mediaeval (sur)name 'Horre', which means 'mudman' in Old Frisian. When the University of Franeker or Academia Franekerensis was founded in 1585, many members of this family went here to study primarily theology, but also medicin and law. One of the best known examples is Rembertus Horreüs who was a master of law at Leiden University in the 16th century and coach of Justinus van Nassau. During the Renaissance and after, it was not uncommon for families with scolarly aspirations to have their names latinized. The Horrëus coat of arms is most clearly depicted above the entrance of the reformed church in Waaxens, Friesland.
