Easton

Boy name · 10 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Easton: 10 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 2021.

Easton began as an English surname rooted in Old English, combining east and tun to mean “eastern town” or “settlement to the east”—a name for someone who lived in the eastern part of a village. Country singer Easton Corbin brought it into the modern spotlight, while American football quarterback Easton Stick added sporting fame. Numerous towns called Easton dot England and the United States, from Somerset to Maryland, all sharing the same geographical origin. Though traditionally a surname, Easton has steadily risen as a first name since the 1990s, popular in both Scotland and the US—a crisp, place-inspired choice with an outdoorsy, energetic feel. Its use as a brand for sports equipment (Easton Baseball) reinforces that active image.
