Etymology

This would seem to be a compound of east of the same type as the numerous compounds of sūð noted under Sodington, Sinton supra 60, 207. The place lies to the north of the parish now, but when Longdon included, as it once did, Castle Morton, and the parish extended a good three miles further west, Eastington would have been definitely on its eastern side.
