Meaning & origin
Leston is a rare given name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1915. Its peak year was 1919, after which its use declined sharply. Since the mid-20th century, the name has been virtually absent from the Social Security Administration's data, making it an extremely uncommon choice. The name's origins are unclear, and it may be a variant of Lestan or derived from an English surname. With no recorded rank in recent decades, Leston remains a historical curiosity from the early 1900s.
