The surname Alston is of English and Scottish origin, derived from several different locations in the United Kingdom. However, it is important to note that there is no evidence suggesting an Irish origin for the surname Alston. The name Alston is mainly associated with the counties of Cumberland, Westmorland, and Durham in England. It is derived from the Old English word "eald," meaning "old," combined with "tun," which means "settlement" or "enclosure." This suggests that the name originally referred to someone who lived in or near an old settlement. Over time, the Alston surname spread throughout England and Scotland, as families moved and intermarried. Many Alstons can still be found in these regions today. While there may be individuals of Irish descent who bear the surname Alston, it is likely that their Irish ancestry can be traced back to the migration of English or Scottish Alstons to Ireland. Irish surnames typically have distinct origins and etymologies, which are not present in the case of the Alston surname. In conclusion, the Alston surname is primarily of English and Scottish origin, with no evidence suggesting an Irish descent.
