Enlightened or from the east
A modern variation of Easton, it likely derives from the Old English words for 'east' and 'town' or 'settlement'. It may also be interpreted as a variant of the name Eustace, meaning fruitful or stable. In contemporary usage, it is often chosen for its directional meaning and trendy phonetic ending.
