The masculine name Alston is an Old English name meaning "noble stone," "elf stone," "old stone," or "temple stone." It started as an Anglo-Saxon last name and place name before people began using it as a first name.

It comes from the old personal name Alstan, which combined words like aethel (noble), aelf (elf), eald (old), or ealh (temple) with stan (stone).

It also comes from English towns named Alston or Alstone, meaning an estate or settlement (tūn) belonging to someone named Alstan.

The name Alston is over 1,000 years old!

So, today I learned that you can only have 6 highlighted posts on a subreddit. Because of the new master lists I posted last night, the name of the day request post can't be pinned anymore. So instead of putting requests on the request post like it was before, please submit any requests you may have in the comments on the Name of the Day...MASTER LIST. Thanks and sorry for any confusion!

ETA: The name of the day master list IS pinned to the top the sub so it's easy to get to it.

ETA2: If you have a name you want me to highlight but don't want to leave a comment because your friends and family know your reddit account, you can send me a chat message and I won't tag you anywhere on the post.

My ancestors include Rusian Burrell Riley and Guey Bernard Bailey. Early Alabama pioneers.

Does anyone know where these names came from? I am completely stumped.

The feminine name Edia has multiple possible roots and meanings depending on culture and language. It can mean "ornament of God" in Hebrew, "prosperous" or "wealthy" in Latin and Old English roots, or "to bring joy" in certain African linguistic traditions.

The name Edia is of uncertain origin, but it is often considered a variant of Edith or a derivative of names containing the element "ed," meaning "riches" or "fortune." Edith is an Old English name composed of the elements "ead" (rich, blessed) and "gyth" (war). As such, Edia can be interpreted to mean "rich in war" or "blessed with fortune." It may also be associated with names like Edie, Eda, or Edita.

****The information on this name was all over the place, so it was hard for me to pinpoint accurate information for it. It's a beautiful name though, so I wanted to share it. If anyone has better info on this name, please leave a comment. Thanks!

I finally got the master lists updated! And watch for more posts today, because I'm going to be posting NEW master lists! The main master list (States so far...MASTER LIST) was getting really long, so I decided to remove the country and specialty lists and make separate lists for each of those.

The States so far...MASTER LIST is now up-to-date. I added the lists for: Connecticut, Kentucky, Delaware, Wyoming and South Dakota. ALL state lists that we've done so far are now on the master list, minus the current list, which is Washington D.C.

Here's the link to the States so far...MASTER LIST

The masculine name Pierce is an English, Welsh, and Irish name meaning "stone" or "rock." It comes from the medieval given name Piers, an old form of Peter, which originates from the Greek word petros. As a surname, it also historically meant "son of Piers."

The name Pierce is over 800 years old!

I can't emphasize this enough: Do NOT use these if your last name starts with a K. No matter how cute the name is, please don't do that to your child. For everyone else, here you go!
