Where does the word Wellington come from?
The Duke of Wellington got his name from the Shropshire town (not the other way round). His name was Arthur Wellesley and when he was made a duke, his brother already had the title of Lord Wellesley, so he chose Wellington. The boots were so called because they were styled on his riding gear. There are two suggestions about how the town's name came about. One is that it is from old English 'Weoleahington', meaning a settlement by a holy place. The other suggestion is that it is a corruption of 'Watling Town' because it lies on the old Roman road called Watling Street.
