Seldon Family History
Seldon Name Meaning
English (Devon): habitational name from Seldon in Hatherleigh (Devon) and perhaps also Selden Farm in Patching (Sussex) though no medieval evidence for the Sussex placename has been found. The Devon placename probably derives from Old English sele ‘dwelling hall’ + dūn ‘valley’.
