The Meaning of the Name
The name Stanton -in-Peak 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 stone (OE stān). Taken together the name probably meant something close to ’the stone farmstead’.
Remarkably, the name has changed little since 1086, when the Domesday scribes wrote it as Stanton -in-Peak.
