What Does the Name Keaston Mean?

Keaston is a rare given name used in the English-speaking world, and its meaning is uncertain. It does not have a documented etymology of its own. The spelling closely resembles Keaton, an English surname and given name that is generally explained as coming from place names in England, from the Old English personal name Cȳta plus tūn, meaning "settlement" - hence "Cȳta's settlement." It also resembles the Cornish surname Keast. Whether Keaston developed as a respelling of Keaton, from Keast, or from some other source is not established, so no single literal meaning can be assigned to it.
