Eastan
Eastan Origin and Meaning
Eastan is an uncommon feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Easton, which traditionally functioned as an English surname derived from place names meaning 'east town' or 'eastern settlement.' While Easton has gained popularity as a masculine given name in recent decades, Eastan as a feminine variant remains quite rare. The name carries connotations of direction and dawn, symbolically representing new beginnings and clarity. Its gender-crossing nature reflects contemporary naming trends that increasingly blur traditional gender boundaries. The distinctive spelling with an 'a' in the second syllable helps differentiate it from the more masculine-associated Easton. The name combines a modern sound with ancient directional meaning, appealing to parents seeking something distinctive yet grounded in traditional naming elements. Its rarity ensures individuality while remaining relatively intuitive in pronunciation.
