de Winton Surname Definition:

Robert de Wintona, or de Wincestria, (doubtless a native of Winchester) went into Glamorganshire with Robert Fitzhamon, soon after the Conquest, and built the castle of Lanquian, near Cowbridge. His descendants continued to use those names for many generations, but at length their place was usurped by the bye-name (for it can hardly be a corruption) Wylcolyna or Wylklyn, and this was at length further degraded into Wilkins.

de Winton Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

Robert de Wintona, or de Wincestria, (doubtless a native of Winchester) went into Glamorganshire with Robert Fitzhamon, soon after the Conquest, and built the castle of Lanquian, near Cowbridge. His descendants continued to use those names for many generations, but at length their place was usurped by the bye-name (for it can hardly be a corruption) Wylcolyna or Wylklyn, and this was at length further degraded into Wilkins. Thus it remains with many of the existing branches, though others have by royal authority resumed the ancient designation of De Winton.
