English: habitational name from Shotton in Easington, Shotton in Sedgefield, Shotton in Staindrop (all Durham), Shotton in Stannington (Northumberland), or Shotton near Mindrum (Northumberland), and also from Shotton in Hadnall (Shropshire). The Durham and Northumberland placenames probably derive from Old English scēot ‘steep slope’ + tūn ‘farmstead, estate’, with the exception of Shotton near Mindrum (Northumberland), which is named with Old English Scot ‘Scot’ (genitive plural Scotta) as the initial element. While it is possible that Old English Scot lies behind the other Durham and Northumberland placenames, scēot is considered to be more likely based on local topography. The Shropshire placename probably also derives from Old English scēot + tūn.
