There have been six baronetcies created for persons with the surname Home (pronounced "Hume"), five in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia and one in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. Only one creation is extant as of 2008. The Home Baronetcy, of Wedderburn in the County of Berwick, was created in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia in circa 1638 for David Home. On the death of the second Baronet in circa 1716 the heir was under attainder and the baronetcy consequently forfeited.
