Fountain

The Noble Tribe of Fountain is represented here by Lord Cameron, Barony of Satrel & Seneschal of Fountain. The ancestors of the Fountain family brought their name to England in the wave of migration after the Norman Conquest of 1066. They lived near a spring or well which was in turn derived from the Old French word fontane, which means spring or well. Fountain is a topographic surname, which is a type of surname that was given to a person who resided near a landmark such as a hill, stream, church, or type of tree.
