The name "Bolton" comes from Old English.
The first recorded use of the name were spelt as Bodeltun", and "Bodeltone", as recorded in the Doomsday Book during the Norman reign over England.
The origin of those is from the word "bothl", an Old English word meaning "house" or "settlement".
Many years ago, people created surnames for themselves based on their family professions. So, Cook, Baker, Driver and so on would have derived from the profession of the family - Jimmy the Cook, for example.
"Bothl" meaning "house" or "settlement" would imply that the name "Bolton" derived from a family of builders or settlement builders, in England many hundreds of years ago.
