Meaning & origin
Maston is a rare American given name first recorded in the United States in 1906, when it also saw its peak usage (rank 10,695th). In 2025, the name had dropped to 1 in 284,679 births, reflecting a stable but minimal trajectory. The name has never been common and carries a turn-of-the-20th-century flavor, similar to other obscure surname-derived given names of that era.
Maston is an English given name of uncertain derivation. It may be a variant of the surname Maston, which likely originated as a locational name from a place called Maston in England. Alternatively, it could be a diminutive of the obsolete name Mast, itself a short form of names like Thomas or a nickname from Middle English 'mast' (a tree fruit). The name saw very limited use in the early 1900s in the United States.
