Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Horn can be something created from the horn of an animal or a synthetic substitute. Creating objects from animal horns used be a very lucrative and important occupation. Today there are laws in place because of over hunting and such. I would guess that that this person's lineage is descended from a family who created tools or carvings from an animals' horns.
