Etymology and History
Stanton has its origins in the Anglo Saxon tribes, which settled in England around 5th-century CE. The word Stanton is derived from Old English term stan ‘stone’ and tun ‘enclosure’ or ‘settlement’, alluding to the stony grounds, where many of these tribes settled. Thus many places took on the name Stanton, like Stanton Harcourt in Oxfordshire, and Stanton Drew in Somerset, close to the Neolithic Stanton Drew stone circles. The origin of Stanton families has been researched by the Stanton DNA Project.
Many variants of the spellings, Stanton, Stainton, Stinton or Staunton, are recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 CE, and the surname can be found in England, Scotland, Ireland and their diaspora, which includes America.
