Facts About
Dillon
Dillion is thought to be a locational surname of English origin, originating from Dilwyn in Herefordshire. Locational surnames were traditionally given to someone who had moved away to a new area, whereby they were assigned the name of their original home as a surname to differentiate them from the other townspeople. However some also speculate that this surname could be of German origin, from the German first name Dillo which would have been brought to Britain by invading Normans. The meaning of this name is said to be ‘Destructive One’. If this is the origin of the surname Dillon then its use would have been patronymic, given to pass down the first name of the father of a household to his kin. |
