Origin: British
Meaning: 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 "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 Viking mythology and Old English folklore, the ash tree symbolizes protection, nourishment, and stability. Resembling a place where the sacred wood grows in abundance, there is no limit to young Aston's burgeoning potential.
