The lineage of the name Caston begins with the Anglo-Saxon tribes in Britain. It is a result of when they lived near a notable chestnut tree. The surname is derived from Anglo-French casteyn, which means chestnut. As such, Caston is a member of the topographic class of surnames, which were given to people who resided near noticeable physical features such as hills, streams, churches, or types of tree. However, Caston may also belong to the category of habitation surnames which were derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads. In this case, the surname Caston is derived from the parish of Caston which lies near Watton in the county of Norfolk.

To escape the unstable social climate in England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Caston were among those contributors:
