TOON Family History

This interesting surname of English origin is a topographical name for someone who lived in a village, as opposed to an outlying farm or hamlet, deriving from the middle English "tune" "tone" (old English pre 7th Century "tun") meaning "settlement", "village" or "enclosure". The surname dates back to the late 11th Century, (see below). Further recordings include one Peter de la Tune (1219), "Sir Christopher Hatton's Book of Seals, Surrey", and John de la Tone (1275), "The Hundred Rolls of Suffolk".
