Hughston is an uncommon, yet distinctive given name of American origin. It is believed to have been derived from the surname Hugson, which itself is likely a diminutive form of Hugo, a name of Germanic origin meaning "heart" or "mind." The name Hugston was first recorded in England during the 16th century, but it has since become more associated with American families. Hughston is often used as a middle name rather than a first name, possibly due to its unusual nature. It does not appear to have any specific historical figures or fictional characters associated with it, contributing to its rarity and uniqueness.
"Hughston appears to be a relatively uncommon name, with only 81 babies given this name over the course of two decades (2001-2021). The peak years for its popularity were 2016 and 2017, with 8 and 10 births respectively. However, there are several gaps in the data, suggesting that not every year had a recorded birth of someone named Hughston."
