It was a locational surname given to families who lived in or near the village of Ingleton.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Ingleton can be found in the Subsidy Rolls of Yorkshire, dated 1297, where a Robert de Ingleton is mentioned. This suggests that the surname was already well-established by the late 13th century.

One notable example is William Ingleton, who was born in 1589 in Ingleton and served as a churchwarden in the local parish church.
