The surname Tattins is a habitation name that was originally derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads. The surname originated as a means of identifying individuals from a particular area.

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