Town of the marsh-dwellers
An English surname-turned-given name, Kerrington likely derives from a place name meaning the settlement of the people living near a marsh or wetland. It combines the Old English elements 'carr' (marsh) and 'tun' (settlement). While rare, it follows the modern trend of using three-syllable surnames ending in -ton for girls.
