The name Edington has a long Anglo-Saxon heritage. The name comes from when a family lived in Eddington or Edington, places found in Berkshire, Northumberland, Somerset and Wiltshire. The place-name is derived from the old English personal name Eadwynn or Eatha, and tun, a suffix denoting enclosure, farm, settlement, or town.

Spelling variations in names were a common occurrence before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago. In the Middle Ages, even the literate spelled their names differently as the English language incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other European languages. Many variations of the name Edington have been found, including Eddington, Edington, Edlington, Erdington, Eddingtone and many more.

First found in Northumberland and later in Berwickshire where the old barony so named was located in the parish of Chirnside. [1]
