Masterton Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
King Malcolm IV (1153-1165) granted the lands of Ledmacdunegil (Ledmacduuegil, or Lethmachduuegil) afterwards called Masterton as formerly held by Magister (= Master) Ailricus, cementarius, to the Abbey church of Dunfermline (RD., p. 21, 30, 42). This Ailricus may be the magister or 'master' after whom the lands took their later name.

Duncan de Maysterton witnessed the homage of Duncan, earl of Fife to the abbot of Dunfermline in 1316 (RD., p. 235,236), Symon de Maysterton, rector, was a witness in 1357 (Neubotle, p. 309), and Sir Thomas Masterton was a canon regular of Cambuskenneth in 1476 (SBR., p. 261). The Mastertons were a family of note in the Dunfermline district before the Reformation, and their genealogy, by Victor A. Noel Paton, is published in the Miscellany of the Scottish History Society (i, p. 457-466). Maistertoun 1617, Maistertoune 1642, Maistertown 1550 Maystirton 1434.
