I was born in Croydon Surrey but do not know of anyone who has had that surname. Genes .com might help you but surnames are sometimes a corruption of two Families names merged together or they may of course originated from the place names.

Probably from Croydon. Now a suburb of London UK. It was once a village. I guess your ancestors came form there.

My vote is with those who suggest that your ancestors may have originated in Croydon, Surrey.
Oh, well, could have been worse. You could have been called Margate!
