Meaning & History
Transferred use of the surname Keston.However, there is one other possible etymology for the surname: one source claims that it was derived from an Old French form of the given name Christian, which had been introduced to England after the Norman Conquest of 1066. This seems possible in theory, if only for the visual similarities between Keston and Christian.With that said, known bearers of Keston as a given name include the British poet Keston Sutherland (b. 1976), the Trinidadian sprint athlete Keston Bledman (b. 1988) and the Guyanese-Sint Maartener cricketer Keston Dornick (b. 1988).
