Elton Family History
Elton Name Meaning
English: habitational name from any of the various places so
called. For the most part they derive from the Old English personal
name Ella or Elli (see Ellington) + Old English
tun ‘enclosure’, ‘settlement’. One in Berkshire, however,
gets its first element from the Old English female personal name
Æ{dh}elfl?d (composed of the elements æ{dh}el
‘noble’ + fl?d ‘beauty’). One in Cambridgeshire has its
first element from the personal name Æ{dh}elheah
(composed of the elements æ{dh}el ‘noble’ + heah
‘high’). The place of this name in County Durham probably gets its
first element from Old English ?l ‘eel’.
