There are a few notable individuals with the surname Horniman, but the most well-known is Frederick John Horniman (1835–1906).
He was an English tea trader and philanthropist, best remembered for founding the Horniman Museum and Gardens in London. Horniman made his fortune through Horniman’s Tea, a company that became one of the largest tea trading businesses in the 19th century. His success allowed him to travel extensively, collecting artifacts from around the world, which he later donated to the public by establishing the museum in Forest Hill, London.
