Facts About
East
East meant the same in Middle England as it does today. It would have been used as a topographical or locational surname. Topographically it would have been given to a person who lived at the further east point of a town. Locational surnames were traditionally given to someone who had moved away to a new area, whereby they were assigned the name of their original home as a surname to differentiate them from the other townspeople. A person could be given the surname East when they had moved to a new town in a westerly direction, where they would be known as the person from the east. |
