Early Origins of the Woodington familyThe surname Woodington was first found in various counties and shires throughout ancient Britain. The name literally means "dweller at the wood-meadow" from the Old English "wudu" + Old Norse "eng", meaning "meadow." 1 Another source claims the name means "dweller at a clearing or place where wood has been cut." 2 One source claims the name was actually Norman as the Magni Rotuli Scaccarii Normanniae lists Ranulph Waudin in Normandy in 1198 3 and another claims the name is more probably derived from Wooden, in the parish of Kelso, co. Roxburgh, Scotland. 4 The first record of the family was found in Bedfordshire where William Woding was listed in the Assize Rolls of 1247. A few years later, Richard atte Woding was listed in Worcestershire in 1294. 5 Early History of the Woodington familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Woodington research.
