The name 'Carlton' is commonplace in Yorkshire. It is derived from a combination the Old Norse word Carl, meaning free peasants, and the Old English word -tun, meaning farm or settlement. The second part of the name is derived from the Old Norse words of Hus and thwaite, for houses and meadow respectively.[5]
