About the Eighteen One-Name Study
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 :)
Variants
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.
Origin of the surname
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.
