Singleton Name Meaning
English: habitational name from places in Lancashire and
Sussex. The former seems from the present-day distribution of the
surname to be the major source, and is named from Old English
scingel ‘shingle(s)’ + tun ‘enclosure’, ‘settlement’;
the latter gets its name from Old English sengel ‘burnt
clearing’ + tun.
