Reply to: Meaning and Origin of "Carrington" by Dick Wolfe
As with many trendy "feminine" names, this name is taken from a surname. "Carrington" means "the town of Curra's people" (referring to a person who came from that town), and is a name borne by several small towns in the counties of Cheshire and Lincolnshire in England.
