Ashby

The meaning of Ashby is 'from the ash tree'. This was first used by the Anglo-Saxon tribes who settled in Britain, wherein the clansman who decided to live near an ash tree used the name as way to easily indicate where they were from. The origin of the name can be traced back to two Old English words: 'aesc' meaning 'ash tree' and 'by' meaning 'dwelling' or 'residence'. The first Ashby family can be traced back to Leicestershire, where the name was first registered on the national census in the year 1300. Whilst traditionally a surname, Ashby is now widely accepted as a first name and consistantly ranks on the boys' popular names list in America. One of the most famous Ashbys was Alan Dean Ashby. He was an American baseball player who played for the Cleveland Indians, Toronto Blue Jays, and the Houston Astros. William Hal Ashby is another well known American with the name. He was a filmmaker and is often heralded with leading the New Hollywood wave of filmmaking.
