Help[Facts] Re: Treston?
in reply to a message by Mithos514
Treston does appear to be a surname (although that may or may not have been the origin of your classmate's name - it could just be a variation of Tristan influenced by Trenton).
the 'ton' part is certainly 'town', but I can't see any evidence for or against 'tres' meaning 'trees'. Perhaps someone with a better knowledge of Old English can make a suggestion?
