Holton Family History
Holton Name Meaning
English: habitational name from any of the numerous places so
called. The final syllable represents Old English tun
‘enclosure’, ‘settlement’. The first element has a wide variety of
possible origins. In the case of three examples in Lincolnshire it is
Old English hoh ‘spur of a hill’; for places in Oxfordshire
and Somerset it is Old English halh ‘nook’, ‘recess’; for one
in Dorset it may be Old English holh ‘hollow’, ‘depression’ or
holt ‘small wood’; for a further pair in Suffolk it may be
hola, genitive plural of holh ‘hollow’, but more
probably a personal name Hola.
