-The name '''Eason''' comes from Aythe<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.houseofnames.com/aasen-family-crest|title=Aasen Name Meaning, Family History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms|website=HouseOfNames|language=EN|access-date=2018-12-07}}</ref> 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 II of Scotland|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.
