In this series, we will go through time from the stone age to modern times. In this video, we take a closer look at stone circles. How they were built and why. We also go over the differences in stone circles and how stone circles developed.

My name is Langston, which is a British name believed to come from standing stones (lang=long, ston=stone). Historians believe Langston to be a locational name, so people would take the name because they lived nearby. I came here to learn more about the origin of my name and was not disappointed!

We have a hamlet near where I live called Langdale, in Cumbria - Lang is old English for "long" and "Dale" is old Norse for "Valley" - so it's called "Long Valley" in old speak. Which makes sense as it's a long valley. Where I live in Torver, Cumbria, "Tor" is meant to be Norse for "Thor" (the thunder god) and "Ver" is Viking/Norse for Pasture - so literally meaning "Thors Land" or "Gods country". Point I'm getting to is, I don't know the exact location your name comes from, but I'd suggest it's North of England, Cumbria, Scotland etc - which means it's most likely from Norse/Viking heritage. :) Hope this helps. Google Cumbria and Castlerigg. Great name btw!

Also, sorry - first Stone circles were built in Orkney, Scoland and moved down from the North down to the south - I/e Stonehenge, Avebury etc
So if you're name is from the North, it would most likely be Anglo-Saxon.

Yes please...a video about stonehenge!

These circles were just built based on wealth and power of clans. (Wealth meaning control of people in a given clan) They were just a status symbol of power to the outer separate clans. Just like today. Rich neighborhoods vs poor neighborhoods. I will bet you if they looked to see if the areas with the biggest and best stone circles they would find those areas house the most people in that area.
Wealth is people.
