Best Answer

The surname Walton is English. There are many places named Walton in England as the name meant either "the settlement of the stream" or "the settlement of foreigners". (Wal, like Wales, meant foreigners). When surnames became compulsory in the 1200's in England, many people adopted the name of their home village eg William of Walton or William of Washington.
