Duddington Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

DUDDINGSTON: Of territorial origin from the lands of Duddingston now included within Edinburgh. Malcolm IV confirmed the gift of the lands of Dodin and the lands of Waltheof filius Arnabol to the Abbey of Kelso (Kelso, 39). The Dodin here mentioned is doubtless the Dodin de Dodinestun who witnessed a charter by Henry de Simpring of the church of Simpring to Kelso c. 1153—65 (Kelso, p. 226), ana the Dodin who held a toft 'super Tweda' which William the Lion confirmed to the same abbey, c. 1165—80 KeIso, p. 28). Dudyn de Broughtune who was one of the witnesses at the inquiry into the marches of Stobbo, c. 1190 (REG., p. 89) is perhaps the same person. Shortly before 1200 Hugh de uilla Dodin witnessed a charter by William the Lion (LSC., 33), Richard de Dodinestun witnessed a charter by Herbert, abbot of Kelso, to Thomas filius Reginaldus de Boscho of the land of Esterdodinestun, c. 1219—26 (Kelso, p. 197), and about 1230 he witnessed a charter by the second Henry de Brade of the tithes of Baueley (Bavelaw) to the monks of Holyrood (LSC., p. 45). William de Dodingstone, burgess of Edinburgh, was granted freedom from distraint in England for all debts in which he is not principal or guarantee in 1290 (Bain, II, 427), and Elayne de Dudingestone of the county of Edinburgh rendered homage for her lands in 1296 (ibid., p. 208). John Dodingstoun or de Dudingstoun had a charter from Robert I of the lands of Pitcorthie in Fife which Richard Syward resigned (RMS., I, App. II, 495), and Stephen Dudingstoune of Sandford was charged in 1558 with abiding from the raid of Lauder (Trials. I, p. 104).
