Aston is a village in South Yorkshire. Unlike other places of the name it does "not" mean "eastern farm or village", but is from Old English "tun" "farm, village, estate" with an uncertain first element. The name was recorded as "Essetone" in 1039, suggesting Old English "ǣsc" "ash tree" (as in Ashtondn and Ashton-in-Makerfield) but this is not certain.

Aston has an anomalous Sheffield Postal Address and Dialling Code even though it has been part of the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham since 1974 and, prior to that, part of Rotherham Rural District since 1894.
