Warrington Family History
Warrington Name Meaning
English: habitational name from a place of this name in Cheshire
(formerly in Lancashire), probably named in Old English as
Wæringtun ‘settlement by the weir’, from Old English
wæring (not independently recorded), a derivative of
wær ‘weir’. Another Warrington, in Buckinghamshire, which
may also have given rise to the surname, is recorded in the 12th
century as Wardintone, probably from an unattested personal
name Wearda or W?rheard + -ing-, denoting
association, + tun ‘settlement’, ‘estate’.
