Middleton Family History
Middleton Name Meaning
English and Scottish: habitational name from any of the places so
called. In over thirty instances from many different areas, the name
is from Old English midel ‘middle’ + tun ‘enclosure’,
‘settlement’. However, Middleton on the Hill near Leominster in
Herefordshire appears in Domesday Book as Miceltune, the first
element clearly being Old English micel ‘large’,
‘great’. Middleton Baggot and Middleton Priors in Shropshire have
early spellings that suggest gem¯ðhyll (from
gem¯ð ‘confluence’ + hyll ‘hill’) + tun
as the origin.
