Cities ending in "Hampton" often derive their name from Old English, meaning "ham" (home or settlement) and "ton" (town or village). The term became popular in medieval England, reflecting the area's settlement patterns. Many towns with this suffix were established or influenced by early settlers, particularly in the United States, who named them after their English counterparts. As a result, places like Southampton and New Hampton carry this historical significance.
