The meaning of Tuxhorn
German (Westphalia): probably a topographic name with the fairly frequent suffix -horn ‘spit of land, horn (referring to the shape)’. The first part of the name leaves several possibilities open for explanation but none really convincing and even the second part may make it a nickname instead of a topographic one.
