English: habitational name from either of two places, in
Staffordshire and North Yorkshire, named Calton, from Old English
calf ‘calf’ + tun ‘farmstead’, ‘settlement’. There
are also numerous minor places so named, notably in Yorkshire and
Derbyshire, and they may also have given rise to the surname in some
instances.
