Family name origins & meanings

  • Scottish : habitational name from any of various places in southern Scotland named with the personal name Simon (see Simon) + northern Middle English toun ‘settlement’. The two places in Ayrshire of this name were both held in the late 12th century by a certain Simon Loccard or Lockhart, from whom they presumably derive their name.
