Aston

US Popularity Rank: 2683

Origin: British

Meaning: Noble stone; East town; Ash tree settlement

Aston is a gender-neutral name long associated with fine minds and notable pedigrees. But before Bond's Aston Martin invigorated the name with luxury and panache, Aston simply stood as "noble stone,” “east town,” and “ash tree settlement”—from the Old English æsc. Far from a humble place name, Aston embodies the reverence and mythos of the ancient Tree of Life. Across Norse mythology and Old English folklore, the ash tree symbolizes protection, nourishment, and mystical power. Resembling a place where the sacred wood grows in abundance, there is no limit to young Aston's burgeoning potential.
