Eason 6, 5.3.1995
Eason is a surname. The name comes from Aythe where the first recorded spelling of the family name is that of Aythe Filius Thome which was dated circa 1630, in the "Baillie of Stratherne". Aythe ''filius'' Thome received a charter of the lands of Fornochtis in Strathearn from Robert II of Scotland, Robert the Steward (later known as Robert II) around 1360. The next of the line was called ''Johem ayson iuuene.'' The surname Ayson seems to be a derivative from "Aythe's son".
