Archivessurname meaning
Can you give me any information concerning the surname
MASHBURN?
I believe it has either Scot or English origins??

Don't know, but probably Mash < Marsh 'a marsh' + burn 'a stream'.
Possibly the name is just Washburn 'from Washb(o)urn(e)' (places with this name in Devon, Gloucester and Yorkshire), with the first letter misrecorded at some point in the past.
