- Origins Available:
 England The name Emmerton is part of the ancient legacy of the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. It is a product of when the family lived in Emberton in Buckinghamshire. 1 In the Domesday Book of 1086, the parish was known as Ambretone and literally meant "farmstead of a man called Eanbeorht," from the Old English personal name + "tun." 2 Early Origins of the Emmerton familyThe surname Emmerton was first found in Buckinghamshire at Emberton, a parish, in the union of Newport-Pagnell, hundred of Newport. 3 The chapelry of Embleton in Durham was an alternate origin of the family. "This place, anciently called Elmdene from its deep hollow glen abounding with elms, gave name to a family that became resident here about the commencement of the 13th century." 3 And it is here that the first record of the family was listed in the Pipe Rolls of 1230 as Roger de Emilton. Almost one hundred years later, Richard de Embeldon was listed in the same area in 1326. Norman de Embleton was listed in the Subsidy Rolls of Cumberland in 1332. 4 Embleton is also a parish, in the union of Alnwick in Northumberland.
