Instone is a name of ancient Anglo-Saxon origin and comes from a family once having lived in either of the settlements called Henton in the counties of Oxfordshire and Somerset. The surname Instone belongs to the large category of Anglo-Saxon habitation names, which are derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads.

The English language only became standardized in the last few centuries; therefore, spelling variations are common among early Anglo-Saxon names. As the form of the English language changed, even the spelling of literate people's names evolved. Instone has been recorded under many different variations, including Henton, Henston, Hennton, Hentone, Heanton and others.

First found in Oxfordshire, where evidence suggests they held a family seat from before the Norman Conquest in 1066.

For many English families, the political and religious disarray that shrouded England made the far away New World an attractive prospect. On cramped disease-ridden ships, thousands migrated to those British colonies that would eventually become Canada and the United States. Those hardy settlers that survived the journey often went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Instone or a variant listed above:
