There are three ancient towns called Wellington, located in Shropshire, Hereford and Somerset.

The Old English ''Weolintun'' was recorded in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles for the year 904, and referred to the Somerset town.

It appears to mean 'the town of the people living by the temple clearing'. The Duke of Wellington took his title from the Somerset town.

The boot was named after the Duke.

Wellington NZ was named after Wellington, Somerset.
