English: habitational name from any of various places called Holton, such as those in Oxfordshire, Suffolk, Dorset, and Somerset. The Oxfordshire and Somerset placenames derive from Old English halh ‘nook, corner of land’ + tūn ‘farmstead, estate’, while the Suffolk placename comes from the Old English personal name Hōla + tūn. The Dorset placename derives from Old English hol ‘hole, hollow’ or holt ‘wood, grove, thicket’ + tūn.
Irish: altered form of O'Haltahan, an Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó hUltacháin ‘descendant of Ultachán’, a diminutive of Ultach ‘Ulsterman’. This is a rare Fermanagh surname, sometimes Anglicized as Nolan .
