Stanton Family History
Stanton Name Meaning
English: habitational name from any of the extremely numerous
places throughout England so called from Old English stan
‘stone’ + tun ‘enclosure’, ‘settlement’. Most of them are
named for their situation on stony ground, but in the case of Stanton
Harcourt in Oxfordshire and Stanton Drew in Avon the reference is to
the proximity of prehistoric stone monuments. The name has also
sometimes been chosen by Ashkenazic Jews as an Americanized form of
various like-sounding Jewish surnames. This surname has long been
established in Ireland also.
