Facts About
Kingston
Kingston is a locational surname coming from any of the places so-called or similarly spelled across Britain. 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. The place name itself comes from the Old English ‘cyningestun’ which meant ‘the town of the king’ and was given as a name to a town that a king resided in. In some cases however places called Kingston actually have the meaning of ‘kings stone’ and were named after a monument to the king that can be found nearby. |
