Hennington Family History

English: habitational name from any of the three places called Hannington (Hampshire, Wiltshire, and Northamptonshire). The Hampshire and Northamptonshire placenames derive from the Old English personal name Hana + Old English connective -ing- + tūn ‘farmstead, estate’.

While the Wiltshire placename probably comes from the Old English personal name Hana (genitive Hanan) or Old English hana ‘cock’ (genitive plural hanena) + dūn ‘hill’.
