Barrington

With a name like Barrington, baby will be very willing to tell people where they come from and what their hometown is like. Before becoming a masculine first name, Barrington was a habitational title used by those who came from towns in England called Barrington! There are still several towns and villages across the pond that bear this moniker, and they all have slightly different name origins. One Barrington in Gloucestershire is associated with the place name meaning “man from the settlement.” While Somerset’s Barrington gets its name from the French commune Barentin. Other sources link Barrington to the Irish last name Ó Bearáin, which once described a person who “lived in a barn.” Wherever little Barrington calls home, their name will encourage them to cherish every moment they spend there.
