Parrington Family History
Parrington Name Meaning
English: apparently from an unrecorded Middle English word parentin. This might denote a man from Parenty (Pas-de-Calais) although as an ethnic name it is otherwise unknown. Middle English parentine ‘parentage lineage’ is also a formally possible source but it is not recorded as a vocabulary word before c. 1460 and it is in any case an unlikely source of a surname.
