Beaston Family History
Beaston Name Meaning
English: habitational name from any of the various places called
Beeston (the more common form of the family name in England). Most of
them, for example those in Bedfordshire, Norfolk, Nottinghamshire, and
West Yorkshire, are named with Old English beos ‘rough
grass’ + tun ‘enclosure’, ‘settlement’. The one in Cheshire
is probably named with Old English byge ‘trade’, ‘commerce’ +
stan ‘stone’, meaning ‘rock where a market was held’. A few
other Beestons have different derivations.
