The surname Felton is of English origin, deriving from several places in England named Felton. However, it is also found among people of Irish descent.
During the early 17th century, many English settlers arrived in Ireland, bringing their surnames with them. This is likely how the surname Felton became established in Ireland. Over time, the Irish Feltons would have intermarried with the local population, further integrating the name into Irish society.
The name Felton is believed to have originated from the Old English word "fel," meaning "hill," and "tun," meaning "settlement." It is possible that the English Feltons were originally associated with a settlement located on or near a hill.
In Ireland, the Felton surname would have been passed down from generation to generation, becoming an integral part of family history. As with many surnames, variations in spelling may exist, such as Feltan or Felten, due to differing regional accents and dialects.
Today, individuals with the surname Felton can be found throughout Ireland and in various parts of the world where Irish emigrants settled. The name serves as a reminder of the historical connections between Ireland and England and the influence of migration on surname distribution.
