Such names started to emerge in England during the Middle Ages, particularly when the need for distinguishing individuals became more pronounced. While specific records for Auberton may be scarce, the patterns of naming in that era indicate that the name would have been used to signify one’s origin, perhaps linked to regions where aubergines grew or areas recognized for their auburn landscapes.
