Summary

Eason is a surname.

The name comes from Aythe[1] where the first recorded spelling of the family name is that of Aythe Filius Thome which was dated circa 1630, in the "Baillie of Stratherne". Aythe filius Thome received a charter of the lands of Fornochtis in Strathearn from Robert the Steward (later known as Robert II) around 1360. The next of the line was called Johem ayson iuuene. The surname Ayson seems to be a derivative from "Aythe's son". The spelling and pronunciation changed over time, until it reached the modern form of Eason and its variants.

Most Eason families are found in the United States, England, Canada and Scotland. New Zealand has the highest percentage of Easons per capita in the world.[2]

There are many variants of the surname, including Easton, Easson, and Esson.
