Frampton Family History
Frampton Name Meaning
English: habitational name from any of various places so called, of
which there are several in Gloucestershire and one in Dorset. Most
take the name from the Frome river (which is probably from a British
word meaning ‘fair’, ‘brisk’) + Old English tun ‘enclosure’,
‘settlement’. One near Tewkesbury was originally named in Old English
as Freolingtun ‘settlement associated with
Freola’, a short form of any of the various compound names
with the first element freo ‘free’. Frampton in Lincolnshire
probably gets its name from an Old English byname Frameca (a
derivative of fram ‘valiant’) + tun.
