The hazelton Surname
hazelton Name Meaning and History
English: habitational name from either of two places called
Hazleton in Gloucestershire, or from Hazelton Bottom in Hertfordshire,
Hazelton Wood in Essex, or Hesselton in North Yorkshire. All are named
from Old English hæsel ‘hazel’ + denu ‘valley’. (The
first element of Hesselton may be influenced by Old Norse
hesli.) It is possible that there are other minor places
elsewhere of this name, in which the second element is Old English
tun ‘enclosure’, ‘settlement’. There has been considerable
confusion of this name with Haselden.
