The name Hamilton probably originated in the village of Hamilton, Leicestershire, England,[1][2] but bearers of that name became established in the 13th century in Lanarkshire, Scotland.[2] The town of Hamilton, South Lanarkshire was named after the family some time before 1445.[3][4] Contemporary Hamiltons are either descended from the original noble family, or descended from people named after the town.[5][3]
