Seaton Family History
Seaton Name Meaning
Scottish and English: habitational name from any of the various
places so called. A Scottish place of this name near Longniddry is so
named because it was held from the 12th century by a Norman family
de Sey, from Say in Indre. Other places of this name, for
example those in Cumbria, Devon, County Durham, Northumbria, and
Yorkshire, are mostly named with Old English s? ‘sea’,
‘lake’ + tun ‘enclosure’, ‘settlement’. One in Rutland seems
to have as its first element a stream name, S?ge (see
Seabrook), or a personal name S?ga. One in Kent is
named with Old English seten ‘plantation’, ‘cultivated land’.
