Occasionally (and in earliest use) also: a type of headdress worn in Burgundy and Flanders in the 15th cent., of uncertain design.The original name given to the various designs of conical headdress is unknown; they are so called due to the (probably mistaken) belief that hennin denoted one or more of these.
