The Frost surname in historical dictionaries
Patronymica Britannica (1860)
FROST. Frost is the name of a dwarf in the Scandinavian mythology, and our nursery hero, "Jack Frost," as Mr. Ferguson suggests, may be derived from that source. One Alwin Forst was a tenant in CO. Hants before Domesd., aud his name by a slight and common transposition would become Frost. The H.R. have many Frosts without prefix.
