Where does last name Frost come from?

Answer 1

Widely believed to be of Scandinavian or Viking origin, or possibly Anglo saxon, and one of the rare names which has the same meaning, more or less, in modern-day Swedish/Norwegian/Danish/German/Dutch and English.

Said by many to represent either a person with white hair, or someone with a frosty disposition, but I have also seen an explanation that it refers more pragmatically to a child born during a period of exceptionally long/cold frosts.

First recorded as an Anglo Saxon name in England in the Domesday book, for a resident of modern Hampshire.
