WALKINGTON Family History
This is a rare English locational surname of probably pre 7th century origins. It derives from a village called Walkington in the East Riding of Yorkshire, first recorded in the famous Domesday Book of 1086 as 'Wachetone'. This translates as the place (tun) of the 'Wealca' people (ing). There is a similarly named village (Walkingham) with the same translation in the West Riding of Yorkshire. There are two possible explanations for the name 'Wealca', the first being that it is a form of the Anglo-Saxon personal name 'Walco', whilst the second, and possibly more logical, being that is is a form of 'waelisc', whose modern equivalent is the word 'Welsh or Walsh', and meaning 'foreigner'.Select Audience
