Most probably from Kent - a county in South East England. Probably your (or whoever was called Kent) had an ancestor who came from Kent and was called, say, John of Kent. His son would have been, say, Peter of Kent and so on. Eventually the 'of' was dropped and subsequent descendants of the original Kent would have Kent as their surname e.g. Clark Kent.
