Tour Scotland Photograph William Livingston Gravestone


Tour Scotland photograph of the William Livingston gravestone in the old graveyard cemetery in Leslie, Fife, Scotland. Livingston is a surname with several different origins. The name itself originates in Scotland as a habitational name derived from Livingston in Lothian which was originally named in Middle English Levingston. This place name was originally named after a man named Levin who appears in several 12th century charters. In Ireland, and in some cases Scotland, the name was adopted by people bearing the Gaelic surnames Ó Duinnshléibhe and Mac Duinnshléibhe. Livingston can also be an Americanized form of Lowenstein, a Jewish surname.
