I live in Shetland Isles which used to belong to Norway but now
Scotland and was wondering since my family has lived here for
centuries if theres any Norwegians with the surname "FULLERTON" or if
its a British name

-ton is not a usdual ending in Norway except for peopel of (say) british
descent

patronymics lasted longer in Norway than Denamrk
(Iceland still uses them)

see


Danish personal names and naming FAQ
http://www.rootsweb.com/~dnkcen/FAQ/names.html

for the basics norwegian also used farm names to add to the patronymic

The references in the text to Diplomatarium Norvegicum (a collection of
medieval charters)

I will start this section with a little background history. The "first name"
was from ancient times and up till about 100 years ago the name of the
person. You did not have a surname in the way we have nowadays. The old
vikings believed that the child would achieve qualities and protection from
what they were named after, like animals and weapons. The old norse names
originally consisted of two components, a prefix and a suffix.

Ross,

In addition to the extensive answer from Hugh below, may be added:
According to the norwegian surname search on http://www.ssb.no/navn/
there are only 6 people using the surname Fullerton presently in
Norway.
