Hueston is an uncommon yet distinctive given name of American origin. It is believed to have been derived from the English surname Huxton, which was a habitational name for someone who lived at a farmstead called Huiston in West Yorkshire, England. The name is thought to have come from the Old Norse elements 'hyrna' meaning 'ram' and 'tun' meaning 'settlement', thus it could be interpreted as 'settlement of the rams'. Hueston has not been widely used throughout history, but it is occasionally found in records dating back to the 17th century. Today, it remains quite rare, making it a unique choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their child.
The name Hueston has seen a significant resurgence recently with the birth of six children in 2023, marking the highest number of births recorded since 1925 when there were also six. Prior to this recent spike, there was a gap of nearly 87 years between 1932 and 2016 where no babies named Hueston were born annually. The total number of children named Hueston over the span of these years is 49.
