Haston Name Meaning

English: according to Reaney, a habitational name from Haston in Shropshire, which is possibly named with Old English heafod ‘head’ + stan ‘stone’. However, the present-day concentration of the name in Scotland suggests that in some cases at least it could perhaps be from one of the places mentioned at Hairston.
