Origin Displayed: English

Where did the English Easterbrook family come from? What is the English coat of arms/family crest? When did the Easterbrook family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the history of the family name?

The English name Easterbrook is topographic in origin; that is, it was originally derived from geographic features of the region in which the first bearer of the name lived. The Middle English "easter," meant "east," and the name meant "someone who lived to the east of the brook."

Spelling variations of this family name include: Eastbrook, Eastbrooke, Estabrooke, Easterbrook, Estbrook, Estbrooke, Eastbroke, Estabroke, Eastabroke, Estabroke and many more.

First found in Somerset where they held a family seat. The first on record appears to be John le Eastbrook, who is mentioned in a volume called "Kirby's Quest for Somerset," as living in that county during the reign of Edward III, the Confessor (1042-66). The Saxon influence on English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066: the language of the courts was French for the next three centuries, but Saxon names survived.
