Mytton Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

Belonging to Myton, Mytton: v. Mitton.

Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

The family of M. of Halston can boast of having represented Shrewsbury in Parliament twice, thrice, or four times, every century, from the XIV. to the XIX, They originally wrote themselves De Mutton. Nimrod's Memoirs of John Mytton, Esq. Mytton is in the N.B. of co. York, and there are Mittons in the counties of Lancaster, Stafford, and Worcester. Most of the existing gentry families of this name appear to have sprung from Shropshire.

Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

There are parishes and hamlets in the county from which the Myttons derive their name. The Myttons have been connected with the municipality of Shrewsbury, in the adjacent county of Shropshire, for several centuries, De Mutton being the earliest form of the name. The De Muttons were bailiffs of that town in the 13th and 14th centuries; after those times the name changed to Mytton, the Myttons frequently filling the office of bailiff of Shrewsbury in the 15th and 16th centuries (Phillip's "Shrewsbury"), Sir Thomas Mytton was sheriff of Shropshire at the close of the 15th century (Wright's "Ludlow").
