English: variant of Eastham , Easton , or Easun. The latter is itself also a variant of Neston, a habitational name from Neston in Corsham (Wiltshire), probably deriving from Old English næss ‘headland, promontory’ + tūn ‘farmstead, settlement’, or from Neston (Cheshire), from Old English næss or Old Norse nes ‘headland, promontory’, or perhaps Old English nesu ‘nose’, with the same sense, + Old English tūn. Alternatively, Neston may be a topographic name from Middle English an esten tun (Old English on ēastan tūne), denoting someone who lived ‘on the east of the village’.
