Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Hope this helps English: habitational name from places named Wing in Buckinghamshire and Rutland. The former was probably named in Old English as the settlement of the Wiwingas ??the family or followers of a man named Wiwa??, or alternatively perhaps ??the people of the temple?? (from a derivative of Old English wig, weoh ??(pre-Christian) temple??). The latter is from Old Norse vengi, a derivative of vangr ??field??. |
