The Hamilton Family

 
 

 

 

 

Official Scottish Tartan for the Hamilton Family

 

Name Origin: SCOTLAND, IRELAND, ENGLAND
The Hamilton family may have originally lived in the village of Hamilton (or Hameldune) in Leicestershire, England, before migrating to Scotland.  The name is derived from the Old English elements "hamel", which means flat-topped, and "dun", which means hill.
The Hamiltons were the eleventh family to come to live in the Catawba area of Lincoln County.  At one time, much of the Catawba/Sherrills Ford area was owned by the Hamiltons and their kinfolk.  Catawba was once listed as Hamilton Township according to the census records.
 
Even though there are a large number of Hamiltons living in North Carolina, the states with the largest group of Hamiltons are Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Texas and California.
