Withorn does not appear in "German Names"by Hans Bahlow.  However the  
following two names do appear.
 
WITT - frequent lower German = weiß, weiße "white" for a white-haired,  fair-
haired person
HORN -found in all areas of the German speaking world; mostly a field or  
place name, sometimes a house
 
Therefore, a  possible meaning for WITHORN could be WHITEHOUSE

Hello  Werner,
Does the name Withorn mean anything in German.  I know some of  the family 
names have meanings, but I've never been able to find the name  Withorn or any 
history of the name.
