I took the title Dawnguard apart back when Dawnguard was announced as the title of the first DLC. What I did was 'Dawn - Guard', assuming Dawn = sun/moon cycle, maybe vampires. Guard = if Vampires, a last line (of people) to protect the innocents from the vamires. I and others who did the same were pretty close.

If I do the same with Hearthfire.:

'Hearth - Fire'.

Hearth = A forge or furnace. If it is a nameplay or joke on a 'heart', then the Heart of Lorkan.

Fire = Looking at the word hearth, a hearth being the centre or core of an essence: probably the centre of Nirn, planets core, or alternately the source where life came from.

My suspicion: Deep within Nirn the Dwemer may reside. They like smithing, forges, steam, fire etc. They also dug deeper and deeper, building cities under cities, as well as cities on top of cities (look at Blackreach). Maybe Dwemer mystery related, probably picking sides with whole big Falmer and Snowelf deal we got in Dawnguard. So either restore the Falmer, or bring the Dwemer back to Tamriel.

Content I suspect/hope for: Change of season and foliage, as Hearthfire is also the name of a month. Hopefully quests and worldly events within Skyrim will be different depending on the season/month.
