Witherington Family History
Witherington Name Meaning
English: either a variant of Wetherington or perhaps a habitational name from Witherenden in Ticehurst (Sussex) Witherden Farm in Headcorn (Kent) or a lost place called Witherington or similar. The Sussex and Kent placenames probably derive from an Old English personal name Wither + Old English connective -ing- + denn ‘woodland pasture’.
