Sartin
A surname most likely built from an older personal name or nickname, with roots that are not fully certain.
The #7,593 most common surname in the United States (2010 Census) — about 1 in every 70,538 Americans shares it.
Etymology
Sartin is not a widely standardized surname origin, so its derivation is uncertain. It may be an English form influenced by a pet form or altered spelling of an older personal name, or it may reflect French-influenced surname formation. In some cases, surnames of this shape can arise from regional pronunciation shifts and spelling changes rather than from a single clear root word.
History
The name appears to be relatively uncommon and is found in English-speaking countries, especially the United States. Like many less common surnames, its present form may have been stabilized only after migration and repeated spelling variation. Because there is no single well-attested origin in the standard onomastic references at hand, its early history remains hard to pin down.
