It's not in theaters until August, but the Weinstein Company recently released images from The Founder, a feature film about the life story of McDonald's founder Ray Kroc starring Michael Keaton.

Etymology & Historical Origin - Keaton. Keaton is the transferred use of an English surname originating as a place name from the village of Ketton in the tiny, landlocked county of Rutland. This makes Keaton unique in that Rutland produced very few authentic surnames. It is said to mean âhawk townâ in Olde English (although we had trouble verifying this). Like many English surnames, Keaton is mainly used in the United States as a given name.
