Name Wederhorn appears in Finnish Carelia in 1700's. One of the first known Wederhorn's was G:mal Drag: Mich: Wederhorn, who died in 14.12.1761 in Lemmetty farm in Kuurmanpohja village of Jääski county. See http://www.hiski.fi/hiski/63xo4w . It is also known that Åke Tott had Wederhorn named officer in his troops in Viborg (Swedish-Russian border was in Carelia that time).
The other appearance of the name is in East Preussia.
However, it is unknown if the origin of the names is same and if there is any connection between the Swedish Wädurhorn, Finnish Wederhorn and Preussian von Wederhorn appearances.
