The surname Eastwood has its origins in both English and Irish descent. In the case of Irish heritage, the surname is an anglicized form of the Gaelic name "Mac an Oistin," meaning "son of Austin." The name Austin, in turn, derives from the Latin name "Augustinus," meaning "venerable" or "majestic."
During the medieval period, the Eastwood surname was predominantly found in the province of Leinster in eastern Ireland. The name was likely brought to Ireland by English settlers during the Anglo-Norman invasion of the 12th century. These settlers intermarried with the local Irish population, resulting in the adoption of Irish surnames and the anglicization of their own names.
The Eastwood surname continued to be passed down through generations, and many individuals with this surname remained in Ireland. However, some also emigrated to other countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, particularly during the 19th and early 20th centuries. These emigrants sought new opportunities and a better life, contributing to the diaspora of the Eastwood surname across the globe.
Today, individuals with the surname Eastwood can be found in various parts of the world, with Irish descent being just one of the many possible origins.
