ArchivesRe: Name meaning
in reply to a message by Vicki Kielsmeier
Of all the invented names, I think those which are coined from combining forms of existing names appear to be the least contrived, as they actually have a history which can be traced. "Eastlin" is a very nice name.
As for a meaning to it... Well, like the name itself, I would guess that its meaning would be a combination of its elements. The surname "Eason" literally means "son of Ead", with "Ead" coming from "Eda", a Middle English diminutive of the feminine given name of "Edith". Click on the blue hyperlink for meaning.
The meaning of "Lynn" can also be found on this site by clicking on the blue link.
Since you added the "t" to the name, the meaning could also literally be taken to mean: "person from the eastern lake".
As a side note, if you had decided to give your son an anagram name formed from "Eason" and "Lynn", you might have named him "Sonny Lane" (which kinda sounds like a name for a '50s pop music star).
Personally, I prefer "Eastlin".
