History and Origin
English (mainly U.S.) and Scottish: transferred use of the Scottish and American surname. Use as a given name seems to have begun in America in honour of Alexander Hamilton (?1757–1804), who was Secretary of the Treasury under George Washington and did much to establish the political and financial system on which the industrial growth and prosperity of the United States came to be founded. He was killed in a duel with the irascible Aaron Burr. The surname was brought to Scotland in or before the 13th century from a village (now deserted) called Hamilton or Hameldune, near Barkby in Leicestershire (named with the Old English elements hamel blunt, flat-topped, or crooked + dun hill). It became the surname of an enormously widespread and influential family, who acquired many titles, including the dukedom of Hamilton. The town near Glasgow so called is named after the family, not vice versa.
