Habitational name from either of two places called Hazleton in Gloucestershire, or from Hazelton Bottom in Hertfordshire, Hazelton Wood in Essex, or Hesselton in North Yorkshire. All are named from Old English h忙sel 鈥榟azel鈥?+ denu 鈥榲alley鈥? (The first element of Hesselton may be influenced by Old Norse hesli.) It is possible that there are other minor places elsewhere of this name, in which the second element is Old English t奴n 鈥榚nclosure鈥? 鈥榮ettlement鈥? There has been considerable confusion of this name with Haselden.
