Upton Family History
Upton Name Meaning
English: habitational name from any of the numerous places called
Upton. The majority of them are named from Old English up-
‘upper’ + tun ‘enclosure’, ‘settlement’. One in Essex,
however, was originally named with the phrase upp in tune
‘up in the settlement’, i.e. the higher part of the settlement; and
one in Worcestershire is probably so called from the Old English
personal name Ubba + tun.
