Manton Family History
Manton Name Meaning
English: habitational name from any of the various places so
called, for example in Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire,
and Wiltshire. For the most part the first element is either Old
English (ge)m?ne ‘common’, ‘shared’ (see Manley,
Manship), or the Old English byname Mann(a) (see
Mann). However, in the case of Manton in Lincolnshire the early
forms show clearly that it was Old English m(e)alm ‘sand’,
‘chalk’, with reference to the poor soil of the region. The second
element is in each case Old English tun ‘enclosure’,
‘settlement’.Irish (Cork): Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó
Manntáin ‘descendant of Manntán’, a personal name
derived from a diminutive of manntach ‘toothless’.
