My study was founded in 2002, following from my collection of as many references as I could find to any John, Robert, Mary, Susan(nah) or Eliza(beth) EIGHTEENs, in an attempt to find out the parentage of my five-times great Grandfather Robert EIGHTEEN (c.1777-1843) and to untangle some of the branches of his family. I'm still no nearer as the records do not appear to give these details. But hey ho :)
No variants have been registered, but some EIGHTEENs have variously been described as AITON, AYTON, AYTEEN, EATON, ETEEN, EATEEN, EIGHTEN or EYTON. This is not an exhaustive lists of the mis-translations and diversions of the name. In fact ETEEN and EATEEN appear to have become new surnames in their own, used by some descendents of EIGHTEENs, but I am still working on this theory.
Most EIGHTEENs originate from East Anglia, principally Hadleigh, Suffolk, where the name first appears in 1667 - the marriage of Jane EIGHTEEN(E) to John DOOMESDAY. Its origin and meaning are still being researched.
