Alstin is a modern English given name, probably a creative blend of the prefix Al- with the -stin ending familiar from Austin and Justin. It is also interpreted as a streamlined respelling of the surname Alston. If linked to Austin (from Latin Augustinus, ultimately augustus), Alstin carries the sense of "venerable, majestic." If connected to Alston, whose roots lie in Old English elements such as aelf/ethel ("elf, noble") plus stan ("stone") or tun ("settlement"), the name evokes "elf-stone," "noble stone," or "Aelf's town."

As a first name, Alstin is very rare and largely 21st-century, fitting the contemporary trend of surname-style choices and inventive phonetic updates. Typical pronunciations are AHL-stin or AWL-stin.
