Pennington Family History
Pennington Name Meaning
English (chiefly Lancashire and Cumbria): habitational name from
places called Pennington, in Lancashire, Cumbria, and Hampshire. The
latter two are so called from Old English pening ‘penny’
(Penny) (used as a byname or from a tribute due on the land) +
tun ‘enclosure’, ‘settlement’. The place of this name in the
parish of Leigh in Lancashire is recorded in the 13th century as
Pinington and Pynington, and may be from Old English
Pinningtun ‘settlement (tun) associated with a man
named Pinna’.
