Facts About
Fulton
Fulton is a locational surname from a place so-called in Scotland. Locational surnames were traditionally given to a newcomer to a town, where the name of their old home would be assigned as a surname to differentiate them. The name of the town itself is thought to be of old English origin and translating roughly as ‘Bird Town’ perhaps because of an unusual amount of birds roosting around the area. Robert Fulton, the American engineer and inventor of the steamboat, is a famous bearer of this surname. |
