Name Meaning
English (mainly Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire): habitational name from Tarleton in Lancashire or Tarlton in Rodmarton (Gloucestershire). The Lancashire placename may derive from an Old Norse personal name Tharaldr (a variant of Thóraldr) + Old English tūn ‘farmstead, estate’, though the initial element may derive from a lost river name (perhaps named with a word based on the Indo-European root ter-, tor- ‘quick, strong’). The Gloucestershire placename probably derives from Old English thorn ‘thorn bush’ + lēah ‘wood, woodland clearing’ + tūn.
