Facts About
Easton
Easton is a locational surname that could have been used in two ways. 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. Easton could have been given in this way to a person from any of the places so-called across Britain. However if we look to the meaning of the name, we can see another possible usage. The name means literally ‘east town’ and could therefore have been given to a person who had moved not from a place called Easton, but from the town in an Easterly direction to their new town of residence. |
