In ancient Anglo-Saxon England, the ancestors of the Borton surname lived in one of many places called Boughton throughout England. Settlements named Boughton were found in Huntingdonshire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, and Northamptonshire. Great Boughton is found in Cheshire, and Kent was home to settlements called Boughton Aluph, Boughton Malherbe, Boughton Monchelsea, and Boughton under Blean.It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Borton are characterized by many spelling variations. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages, even literate people changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Borton include: Boughton, Bourton, Borton, Boughten, Bourten, Borten, Bouton and many more.

Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: Omne bonum Dei donum Motto Translation: Every good is the gift of God.
