Mostyn is a habitational surname of Welsh origin. It comes from the place Mostyn, in Flintshire, Wales, UK. The village's name was originally derived from Old English mos, meaning 'bog', and tūn, meaning 'farm village'. The name is first recorded in the Flintshire area in the 13th century, in families descended from one of the 15 noble tribes of Wales. In the previous century, there had been lords of the manor of Mostyn, seated at Mostyn Hall. Spelling variations include Mostin, Mostyne, Mosten, and Mostine.
