Does anybody know if "Honsey" is Swedish last name?

I doubt it. I find people named Honsey in the Midwest and Canada, and around London. Probably related to the old parish and borough of Honsey in North-London.

"It includes the areas known as Hornsey Village, Hornsey Vale, Crouch End, Muswell Hill, Highgate and part of Kenwood, Stroud Green and part of Finsbury Park, Bounds Green and adjoining areas within Hornsey and Wood Green Parliamentary constituency including Wood Green, Harringay, West Green and Tottenham."





Most of the area was developed since Edwardian times, but the tower of the original parish church still stands in its ancient graveyard in Hornsey High Street. Other notable historic places include Hornsey Town Hall, Cromwell House, and the world-famous Alexandra Palace, birthplace of television."





"Hornsey parish formed part of Middlesex, and its successor Hornsey Borough (centred at Hornsey Town Hall in Crouch End) remained just outside the old London County Council. Since 1964, Hornsey has been part of the London Borough of Haringey."

Does anybody know if "Honsey" is Swedish last name?
I don't think so. Most Swedish last names ends with -son or -lund.
