Wharton
It's my fiance and child's last name. Someday will be mine. I know he is Italian and Irish. I just wondered if there is anyone or anywhere that has information on this LN. Thanks

I know this isn't really what you are looking for but there is a town in Texas called Wharton. Perhaps if you could find information about the founder or namesake of the town, it could lead you to the origins of the name.
