The huntington Surname
huntington Name Meaning and History
English: habitational name from any of several places so called,
named with the genitive plural huntena of Old English
hunta ‘hunter’ + tun ‘enclosure’, ‘settlement’ or
dun ‘hill’ (the forms in -ton and -don having
become inextricably confused). A number of bearers of this name may
well derive it from Huntingdon, now in Cambridgeshire (formerly the
county seat of the old county of Huntingdonshire), which is named from
the genitive case of Old English hunta ‘huntsman’, perhaps used
as a personal name, + dun ‘hill’.
