The Meaning of the Name

The name Newton is of Anglo-Saxon origin. Its final element derives from the Old English word tūn, a farmstead or village, while the first element appears to represent the new. Taken together the name probably meant something close to ’the new farmstead’.

Remarkably, the name has changed little since 1086, when the Domesday scribes wrote it as Newton.
