Throughout its history Wymington has been referred to by various names, including Wimmington, Winnington, Wimentone, Wimuntun, Widmintun, and Wymingas, among others. The name is possibly derived from Old English and refers to a 'tun' held by a person named Wigmund or Wimund, though other older sources indicate it could possibly be a reference to the site of an ancient, possibly Roman, battle.
