This term means "a shout of support or agreement." And is not to be confused with "here, here". Which is a term often heard on the soccer field when a player wants the ball to be passed in his/her direction. The term originated in the British parliament in the 18th century as a contraction of 'hear him, hear him'. It is still often heard there although sometimes used ironically these days.
