Hoban is the ancient name of Black Sea region of todays Turkey town of HOPA. From my DNA profile my maternal chromosomes seem to immigrate and mutate to Ireland. I didnt know there was a surname Hoban still existed until I searched the ancient name of my birth place. It seems no source is known other than Gaelic root.This is my suggestion and its a spot on. DNA says mutation and movement occured more early than Iron Age. Fascinating.
