Glendinning is an ancient Scottish surname. It is locational from a place called Glendinning in the parish of Westerkirk, in the county of Dumfriesshire. The name derives from the Welsh " glyn " meaning " valley ", " dun ", a fort, plus " gwyn " white or fair, hence, " the valley of the white fort ". In the Miscellany of the Scottish Historical Society one, William de Glendonwyn is recorded as " procurator of the Scottish Nation in the University of Orleans ". In the " Criminal Trials of Scotland " from A.D. 1487 to 1624 reference is made to the stealing of goods from a Bartholomew Glendunwyne, and in the reign of Charles 1, a John Glendinning had his lands forfeited when Montrose, the Kings's lieutenant, whom he supported was defeated.
