Estridge Family History

English:: ethnic name from Middle English Estrich (Old French estreis ‘eastern’) usually denoting an Easterling, a German from the Baltic coast, especially a merchant from one of the Hanseatic cities.

Perhaps a habitational name from one of the places named Ashridge in Devon, Berkshire, or Wiltshire (Middle English ashe + rigge ‘ash-tree ridge’).

Surnames from these places sometimes appear as Astridge, of which Estridge would be an unexceptional variant.
