The heighton Surname
heighton Name Meaning and History
English (Midlands): apparently a habitational name from South
Heighton in East Sussex, named from Old English heah ‘high’
+ tun ‘farmstead’, ‘settlement’. However, the high
concentration of the modern name in the Midland region suggests that
in many cases it is likely to be a variant of Hayton,
specifically from the places so named in Nottinghamshire and East
Yorkshire.
