Masten is an uncommon yet distinctive given name of American origin. It is derived from the English surname Masten, which is of habitational origin. This means it was originally a name given to someone who lived near a large estate or manor house, as indicated by its derivation from the Old English words 'maete' meaning 'great' and 'stan' meaning 'stone'. The name Masten has been used occasionally in the United States but is not listed among the Social Security Administration's top baby names. As such, it retains an air of uniqueness and individuality for those who bear this intriguing moniker.
"The name Masten was given to nine newborns in 2020, followed by six in 2021, and then seven in 2023. Altogether, there were twenty-two children named Masten over this period."
