The surname Tatint is a habitation name that was originally derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads.

"The manor passed with Etchells, in Northen parish, and became the property of the Tatton family." 2 Early History of the Tatint familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Tatint research.
