Norton is a surname with origin from the basic Early English norþ + tun, meaning North settlement. There are many English villages called Norton or including Norton as part of the name, e.g. Midsomer Norton, Chipping Norton, Brize Norton etc. When surnames started to be used in the Middle Ages, a man from such a village might have the name added e.g. Tom of Norton. Alternatively a man from the north side of any village might be given the name Tom Norton to distinguish him from a Tom from the south side. A secondary source for the surname is from the anglicisation of Celtic surnames. It is also sometimes found as a Jewish surname. The famous Emperor Norton in San Francisco was of Jewish origin from a South African settler family.
