Denardeston meaning | Last name Denardeston origin

Denardeston is variant form of Dennistoun. The Dennistouns "of that Ilk," have an extraordinary way of accounting for their surname. One Danziel, or Daniel, (say they) probably of Norman extraction, settled in Renfrewshire, and calling the estate Danzielstoun, as sumed there from his surname! The family are unquestionably ancient, the name appearing in a charter of king Malcolm IV., who died in 1165, but the Norman Danziel is probably a genealogical figment. The English Denisons are said to have sprung from a cadet of this ancient house, who went from Scotland temp. Charles I., and fought at Marston Moor."
