EnglandThe Kilvington surname is thought to be a habitational name taken on from the name of the Parish of Kilvington, in County Nottingham, on record since the Domesday Book (1086). There is also a parish of the name in the North Riding of Yorkshire, near Thirsk, listed as North Kilvington in the Domesday Book. These place names are thought to have derived from the Old English word "Kiluingtona."
The surname Kilvington was first found in Yorkshire, where John de Kylvyngton (Kilvington,) was chief keeper of the forest of Nidderdale in 1322; and Edward Kilvingtone was listed in the Yorkshire Poll Tax of 1379. [1]

Until quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Kilvington include Kilvingston, Kilvington and others.
