Shilleto Surname Definition:
This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of Selito'. This great Yorkshire name completely baffles me. Probably, like Sholto (Northumberland), the suffix is -how (v.

Shilleto Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of Selito'. This great Yorkshire name completely baffles me. Probably, like Sholto (Northumberland), the suffix is -how (v. How, a), in which case, of course, the name is local. But I cannot identify the spot, and there is no prefix de to the instances. No entry is found in any of the great rolls, like the Testa de Neville, the Hundred Rolls, or the Placita quo Warranto.
Adam Selito (Houghton Grass), 1379: Poll Tax of Yorkshire.
Johannes Selito (Houghton Grass), 1379: ibid.
Jurdanus Selito (Whitwood), 1379: ibid.
Johannes Selito (Whitwood), 1379: ibid.
Ricardus Ruscheto, 1379: ibid.
1721. Baptised — John, s. Peter Selleto: St. Mary Aldermary (London).
This name, uniformly occurring in the Yorks Poll-Tax, A.D. 1379, as Selito, in 1397-8 as Shelito (‘Notes and Queries,’ 25th Apl. ’14, p.335) undoubtedly presents difficulties, chiefly owing to the lack of earlier forms. It has been suggested that it represents a Norman place-name Siletot; but I cannot trace such a place-name; and, in any case, in the 14th cent. we should expect the retention in the surname of the final -t. As it is “a great Yorkshire name” it is prob. Scandinavian, and the second element may be the Old Norse tá (Swedish taa, pron. almost toe), a path, walk, sheepwalk, cattle-run (rather than for the Old English hó, a hill, promontory), with the first element either Old Norse skíol (sk before i normally palatalized to sh), a shiel, shed, shelter, or Old Norse sel (genit. pl. selia), a shed on a mountain-pasture. The surname now occurs as both Sillito(e and Shillito(e, &c. Guppy, ‘Homes of Family-Names’ (p. 550), says: ‘‘Shropshire contains both these forms, Staffordshire has Sillitoe with Sillito, and the West Riding has Shillitoe.”
