Maxon Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
Of territorial origin from the barony of the same name in Roxberghshire, Maxton, the "tun" of Maccus, may have obtained its name from Macgus, the son of Undewyn, who in the reign of David I obtained lands in the neighborhood. The barony passed out of the possession of the family by the end of the twelfth century, being acquired by Robert de Berkeley and later by the de Normanvilles. About the year 1250 Adam de Makuston witnessed a charter by John de Normanville (Melros, p. 223), ar about the same period John, son of Philip de Mackuston, quitclaimed to the monks of Melrose the right of pastere in his territory (ibid., p. 226 227). Adam de Maxton was elected abbot of Melrose in 1261 (Morton, p. 225). Alexander de Maxston, constable of Rokisberg in 1285 (Kelso, 219) is probably the same who rendered homage in 1296 (Bain, II, p. 209). The Hungarian family of Maxon is descended from an individual of this name who emigrated to that country several generations ago. A family of Maxtons have been settled for six centuries at Cultoquey in Perthshire, and the celebrated Maxton "litany" was the composition of one of its members about the year 1725. The satire was aimed at certain powerful neighbors of his and embodied the populer characteristics of certain Scottish families:
"From the greed of the Campbells,
From the ire of the Drummonds,
From the pride of the Grahams,
From the wind of the Merrays,
Good Lord, deliver us."
A parish in Roxburghshire. The Maxtones of Cultoquhey in Perthshire acquired that estate by charter in 1410. B.L.G.
