English: 1. ethnic name from Middle English Estrich (Old French estreis ‘eastern’), usually denoting an Easterling, a German from the Baltic coast, especially a merchant from one of the Hanseatic cities. 2. perhaps a habitational name from one of the places named Ashridge in Devon, Berkshire, or Wiltshire (Middle English ashe + rigge ‘ash-tree ridge’). Surnames from these places sometimes appear as Astridge, of which Estridge would be an unexceptional variant.
