Banton Family History
Banton Name Meaning
English: habitational name of uncertain origin. There is a place so
called in Strathclyde region and a Banton House in Lancashire; the
present-day concentration of the surname in the Derbyshire area
suggests the latter may be the more likely source. In some instances
the name may have arisen from a place called Bampton, in particular,
one in Cumbria, named with Old English beam
‘trunk’, ‘beam’ + tun ‘farmstead’, ‘settlement’.
