Ashton

Ashton comes from the Old English words ‘æsc’, meaning ‘ash tree’ and ‘tūn’, meaning ‘to dwell in a village' or 'to settle’. The the meaning of Ashton is 'ash tree town'. It was first popular in Nordic Britain, with the first recorded Ashton - or 'Estun' - appearing in the Doomsday Book in 1086. According to Norse mythology, the first human that the Gods created was made with wood from the ash tree. Ash trees, which are known for the grand size that they can grow to, were used to build the Viking's ships, so the ash tree was seen as symbolic of strength, power, and toughness. Though it can be used as a name for either gender, the name suddenly increased in popularity thanks to American actor Ashton Kutcher, who starred as Kelso in ‘That 70s Show’. In 2020, it was the 154th most popular name for American boys, increasing 36 positions from the previous year.
