Nah , I was a robinson and never crossed my mind - it was traditional for women to change name at marriage until fairly recently so seems reasonable that it's continued down the male lineage

I thought the use of "ton" in place names just meant "town" and so someone with "ton" in their surname just meant they came from a town called that.

Seb Larsdaughter is a more appropriate name for him these days. The big fanny.
What I thought.
Anderton. This is an English loctional name from either of two places so-called in Cheshire and Lancashire. The namederives from the Olde English pre 7th Century personal name "Eanrad" and "tun", meaning an enclosure or settlement, later a village or town.

No. But one day I hope the historians will have an answer to how such names come about.

Icelandic names almost work like that.
Women's surname end in dottir (e.g. Katrin Davidsdottir).
Mens surname end in son (e.g. Hafthor Bjornsson)
