Alderton Family History
Alderton Name Meaning
English: habitational name from any of a number of places called
Alderton. Those in Suffolk and Shropshire (Alretuna in Domesday
Book) are named in Old English as ‘the settlement (Old English
tun) by the alders (Old English alor)’. Those in
Gloucestershire, Northamptonshire, and Wiltshire are named as
‘settlement associated with Ealdhere’. The one in Essex contains a
different personal name, probably the woman’s name Æ{dh}elwaru. In
England, the surname is most common in East Anglia, making the places
in Suffolk and Essex the most likely sources.
