The Old English language word "tun", meaning "fence" or "enclosure", was utilized by the ancient Anglo-Saxons who once ruled all of Britain to designate a person or family that lived in or near such a structure. First found in Suffolk; 1095 A.D. The family's name is also found in Scotland's former county of Linlithgowshire, where they held a family seat.
