Origin & Meaning

AI-Written
Derived from an Old English habitational surname combining sūð (south) and tūn (settlement or farmstead). It sat quietly in the geography of the British Isles for centuries before drifting onto American birth certificates in 1912. The name only found wide adoption in the twenty-first century as part of the broader migration of Anglo-Norman surnames to the nursery.
