The Denniston Family

 
 

Name Origin: SCOTTISH

Denniston is a habitational name coming from the word Danzielstoun (Daniel's Town).
The name is usually considered Scottish, but there are substantial groups of Dennistons in England, Ireland and the US. 
In the US, New York is the state with the largest number of Dennistons.  Other states with prominant Denniston populations are California, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
