Roston is an uncommon, unique name of Slavic origin, derived from the Slavic element "rost" meaning "growth" or "prosperity". It is often associated with the Slavic name Rosťa, which has been used in various Slavic cultures for centuries. In some cases, Roston may also be considered a variant spelling of the English name Rowan, which means "little red-haired one". The name Roston is typically given to boys and is not widely popular, making it a distinctive choice for parents looking for an unusual yet meaningful name for their child. It does not have any specific pronunciation rules and can be pronounced as /ˈroʊstən/ or /ˈroʊstɒn/.
