The proud and noble English topographical surname Thornton is first found in Cheshire, where a certain Peter Thornton was Secretary to the Blundells. The name itself was originally borne by those who lived close to "the village where the thorn bushes were plentiful".

family motto: "To the faithful go rewards!"
