It is derived from their residence to the east of a wood, or perhaps
in an eastern wood. It may also be derived from one of several
possible villages named Eastwood. There is definitely an Eastwood in
Yorkshire, and there may have been one in Essex as well. Further
research revealed that the name is derived from the Old English
words east (east) and wudu (wood), which continue to have the same
meaning in Modern English (somewhat rare).
