Thorne is a surname, an English derivation of the Danish surname 'Thorn' originally applied to a person who lived in or near a thorn bush. Thorne is the 1,721st most common surname name in the United States.[1] Thorne family's origins date back to the period prior to the Norman Conquest of 1066, to the county of Somerset. Thorne is an English name, now found mostly in the area of Dorset and Devon, bordering counties located on the southwestern coast of England.
