Errington (surname)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Errington is a surname found in the English-speaking world. Originating from a now-vanished settlement in Northumberland, claims that it is derived from a British river name akin to Welsh arian ‘silvery bright’ + Old English tūn ‘enclosure settlement’[1] are erroneous as the village predated the river. The "Erring" is derived from "Errean" a Saxon warlord who was the Chief of the settlement. Source: Dictionary of American Family Names 2nd edition, 2022
