Denton is a locational surname, given to a person from any of the places so-called across Britain. Locational surnames were traditionally given to a newcomer in a town, where the name of their original residence would have been given as a surname to differentiate them. Denton is made up of the elements ‘den’ from the Old English ‘denu’ meaning valley, and ‘tun’ which means town. Towns with this name therefore usually have their oldest buildings within a valley. |
