Etymology
The name of the village is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Hornebi and Horneby. It derives from the Old Norse personal name Horni and the word bý ('farm'). Thus the name once meant 'farm belonging to Horni'.{{cite book |last1=Smith |first1=A H |title=The place-names of the North Riding of Yorkshire |date=1969 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |location=Cambridge |page=240|oclc=16956730|url=https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/research/groups/epns/documents/north-riding-of-yorkshire.pdf}}
