The story of Eastyn
England has a great many villages called Easton, each named in relation to something else nearby, and families who came from one carried it as a surname. It crossed to America early and became a first name in the twentieth century, part of the long movement of English surnames to the front of the name. The -yn respelling belongs to the last two decades and does the same work here that it does in Adalyn and Jaelyn: it softens the ending and signals that the name is meant for a girl.
Meaning
east settlement
Old English east joined to tun, a farmstead or enclosed settlement. The same tun closes Milton, Preston and Shelton, and the whole compass appears in place names: Easton, Weston, Norton and Sutton.

The trade-off
- The meaning is plain, geographical and completely transparent in English.
- It works as a surname-style name, which reads as capable rather than decorative.
- The spelling is easy to guess from hearing, apart from the y.
- Easton is the standard spelling and will be written instead by most people.
- The name goes mainly to boys, so a girl called Eastyn will be filed wrongly at times.
- The -yn respelling places it firmly in the last twenty years.
