Where did the Scottish Aasen family come from? What is the Scottish Aasen family crest and coat of arms? When did the Aasen family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Aasen family history? The ancestors of the first family to use the name Aasen lived among the Pictish people of ancient Scotland. The name Aasen is derived from Aythe where Aythe filius Thome received a charter of the lands of Fornochtis in Strathearn from Robert the Steward (later known as Robert II) around 1360. The next of the line was called Johem ayson iuuene. It can be seen how the surname Ayson is a derivative from "Aythe's son." The spelling and pronunciation changed over time, until it reached the modern form of Aasen and its variants.The arts of spelling and translation were yet in their infancies when surnames began, so there are an enormous number of spelling variations of the names in early Scottish records. This is a particular problem with Scottish names because of the numerous times a name might have been loosely translated to English from Gaelic and back. Aasen has been spelled Eason, Easson, Esson, Asson, Assone, Aysoune, Aison and many more. First found in Angus, where it was of the most ancient surnames in the region. They were connected with the Toschachs of Glentilt. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Aasen research.

Most of these chose North America as their destination. Although the journey left many sick and poor, these immigrants were welcomed the hardy with great opportunity. Many of these settlers stood up for their newfound freedom in the American War of Independence. More recently, Scots abroad have recovered much of their collective heritage through highland games and other patriotic functions and groups. An examination of passenger and immigration lists has located various settlers bearing the name Aasen: Edward Eason who settled in Virginia in 1610, ten years before the "Mayflower"; William Eason settled in Maine in 1763; followed by John in 1770; Alexander Easson settled in New York State in 1820..
