This interesting surname is of Scottish origin, and is locational from a place so called, near Paisley in Renfrewshire. The placename was called after the first owner, Ralph, a younger son of one of the earls of Fife and means "Ralph's settlement", derived from the Old Norse personal name, composed of the Germanic elements "rad", counsel advice, and "wolf", wolf, and the Old English pre 7th Century "tun", farm settlement; the personal name was introduced into Britain by Scandinavian settlers in the Old Norse form "Rathulfr", and was reinforced after the Conquest by the Norman form "Ra(d)ulf". The surname development since 1272 (see below) includes: Thomas de Raulfrestone (1296, Lanarkshire), Jacobus de Raulyston (1346, Paisley) and John Raleston (1488, Renfrewshire).
