• Source: Hinton (place name)

Hinton is a place name of Old English origin, and is a common English village name, particularly in Southern England. Village names often include a suffix, for example Hinton on the Green and Hinton-in-the-Hedges.
The place-name is closely related to other place-names that may derive from Old English hēah (or hēa, hēan), meaning "high" or "tall", such as Highham, Heaton, and Hampton.




Etymology


The place name Hinton is of Old English origin, and usually derives from either:

Old English hiwan (or higna, hina), meaning "members of a family, household or religious house", or "farm of the monks or of the nuns".
Old English hēah (or hēan), meaning "high, tall" or "exalted, important".
The suffix is from Old English tūn, meaning "an enclosed piece of ground" or "a village or town".

The name was previously recorded as Hynton in the edge (1549). The toponym might be: "Village in the hill-side".
The etymology is uncertain. The etymologist Victor Watts proposed that the name derives from Old English hina, which is normally used in the context of a monastery or other community. However, there is no known record of a monastic settlement.
Another possibility is that the name derives from Old English hēah ("high). The name element edge refers to a hill-side or escarpment (also found in nearby Edge Hill and Edgcote) – the village is on the rim of a plateau used by the Hinton-in-the-Hedges Airfield. The Holy Trinity Church is 128m above sea level, while the church at nearby Westbury is only 103m above sea level.
