From A Dictionary
of English and Welsh Surnames, by C. W. E. Bardsley, A. Bardsley,

ATTENBOROUGH,
ATTERBURY. (1) A local name meaning "of
Attenborough," a parish in co. Notts. (2) A local name meaning
"of Attleburgh," a town in co. Norf. I have placed
Attenborough and Atterbury together, as they have probably become confused in
the course of centuries. In any case Atterbury represents the older
Attleburgh. (3) A local name meaning "at the borough" or
"bury"; v. Bury.
