Re: Unusual name - Briston
in reply to a message by Eddie
Hi there,
I am not sure where you actually live. But the name Briston possibly comes from the Domesday Book entry about the English village of Briston or "Burstana" the oxford dictionary gives us the two words to make the name "Byrst & Tun" Brystun. The earliest dates for Briston's that i have found is around the early 1700's
