Back to Hudgeon

Having done more reading about Hudgeon/Hutchen etc JJ Kneen equates the name with Scottish Huisdean and Old Norse Eysteinn. (Everlasting stone) If this were the case, it would put it in a possible group of names with the element 'stein' which means stone, still being puzzled over:

Stevenson
Stephen
Steen
MacCorsten
Costain

Place-names

Earystane
Ballasteen

and others

So it might not belong to the "Norman Names" group at all?
