Etymology
Kingston is Kyngeston 1288, 1301Rental , 1332 SR, Kengeston 1349Rental (all p), Kyngestones 1450, Kyngeston 1463Rental .This may be 'King's farm,' v. tun , but since all the earlier forms are derived from personal names, it may be that the name is of manorial origin, from an early settler from Kingston supra 59.The whole Hundred of Farnham had been in the possession of the Bishops of Winchester since the end of the 7th century, so that for any connection of the place with a king we should have to go back to a very early period of Anglo-Saxon history.
