The
Shingleton
family
The surname Shingleton is probably an uncommon
variation of Singleton. Singleton itself has two origins, both
habitational (named for a location). The first is from the Old
English scingel (give us the modern word shingle) and tun meaning
enclosure or settlement. The second is from Old English sengel
meaning a burnt clear and again tun. As the shingleton variant of
the name sounds the same as modern day shingle is suggests the first
origin is more likely.
As a less common variant of a more common surname I
will be looking at the name Shingleton specifically and at the
occurence of the name Singleton to see if it provides more deeper
habitational information.
