The history of the last name Allbritten

The surname Allbritten originated in England, with its roots traced back to the medieval era. It is believed to be a locational name derived from a place called "Allbrighton" or "Aubrighton," which can be found in Shropshire and Staffordshire counties.

One of the earliest recorded instances of this surname can be found in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appeared as "Albrictone" and "Albrihtun." These variations likely stem from the Old English words "ælbriht" and "tun," meaning "bright or noble place."

In the 13th century, records show the surname spelled as "Albrighton" and "Albrichtone," further indicating its locational origins. As people began migrating from these areas, the name evolved into its current form, Allbritten.

One notable early bearer of this surname was Sir John Allbritten, a landowner and member of the gentry in Staffordshire during the 14th century. Another prominent figure was William Allbritten, born in 1512, who served as a magistrate in Shropshire and played a role in the local administration.

In the 16th century, the surname appeared in various records, such as the Pipe Rolls of Warwickshire, where it was written as "Albrightone." This further solidified the name's connection to the places it originated from.

During the 17th century, the Allbritten family had a strong presence in Worcestershire, with records indicating several members holding positions of influence within the local community. One such individual was Thomas Allbritten, born in 1635, who served as a church warden and played a significant role in the parish affairs.

Another noteworthy figure bearing this surname was Elizabeth Allbritten, born in 1701 in Shropshire. She was a respected educator and philanthropist, known for establishing several schools in the region and supporting various charitable causes.

As the centuries passed, the Allbritten surname continued to spread across England and eventually to other parts of the world through emigration.
