English (Warwickshire): habitational name from Wollaston (Northamptonshire), Wollaston in Old Swinford (Worcestershire), or Woollaston in Bradley (Staffordshire). The placenames derive from the Old English personal name Wulflāf (genitive Wulflāfes) + Old English tūn ‘farmstead, estate’. There may have been some confusion with Woolston .
