Eastyn is English in Origin.

Eastyn is a modern American respelling of the English place-name Easton, built from Old English east (east) + tun (enclosure, town). The core meaning remains "eastern settlement" or "from the east town," while the -yn ending lends a contemporary, gently unisex feel common in twenty-first-century naming.

Easton began as a medieval English surname for people from villages called Easton and later crossed into given-name use, particularly in North America from the late nineteenth century onward, with a sharp rise in the 2000s as surname names boomed. Eastyn surfaced in the 2010s as a stylistic variant favored by parents seeking a softer, distinctive twist, and it appears for both boys and girls. Close variants and related forms include Easton, Easten, Eastin, and embellished spellings such as Eastynn, Eastynne, and Eastlyn/Eastlynn. Note that Estyn, though similar in sound, is a separate Welsh name meaning "to extend," not etymologically tied to Easton/Eastyn.
