Family name origins & meanings

  • English : habitational name from either of two places named Rampton, in Cambridgeshire and Nottinghamshire; the first, and probably also the second, is named Old English ramm ‘ram’ + tūn ‘settlement’. However, the modern surname is concentrated in Hampshire, suggesting perhaps that another, unidentified source could be involved.
