English: according to Reaney, a habitational name from Haston in
Shropshire, which is possibly named with Old English heafod
‘head’ + stan ‘stone’. However, the present-day
concentration of the name in Scotland suggests that in some cases at
least it could perhaps be from one of the places mentioned at
Hairston.
