HUON. Arthurian.
A
diminutive form of French Hugues
(q.v.), meaning "mind" or
"thought." In the old French romance "Huon de
Bourdeaux," Huon is chosen, over Arthur, to be Oberon's successor. (Fairy Tales, Legends and Romances
&c.,
1875)
Oberon the
Fay, king of Mommur, a humpty dwarf, three feet high, of angelic face,
told sir Huon that the Lady of the Hidden Isle (Cephalonia)
married Naptanebus king of Egypt, by whom she had a son named Alexander
"the Great." Seven hundred years later she had another
son, Oberon, by Julius Caesar, who stopped in Cephalonia on his way to
Thessaly. At the birth of Oberon, the fairies bestowed their gifts
on him. One was insight into men's thoughts, and another was the
power of transporting himself instantaneously to any place. At
death, he made Huon his successor, and was borne to paradise.—Huon
de Bordeaux. (The Reader's Handbook of Famous Names in Fiction,
&c., Brewer, 1899)
