From A Dictionary
of English and Welsh Surnames, by C. W. E. Bardsley, A. Bardsley,

ASLIN, ASHLIN, ASLING,
ASHLING.
A baptismal name meaning "the son of Ancel," from the diminutive
Ancelin, popularly Asselin or Acelin; v. Ancell.
Asselin and Ascelyne occur as personal names in the Hundred Rolls without
surnames attached; v. Lancelin.
The g in Asling is excrescent, as in Jennings, &c. The
Cambridgeshire form is Ashling. Six centuries ago, in the same
county, it was Asselin. But the change is an ordinary one.
