Euston is English in Origin.

Euston (pronounced YOO-stən) is an English given name of toponymic origin, taken from the London rail terminus and, earlier, from the Suffolk village of Euston associated with the Dukes of Grafton. The place-name, attested since medieval records, is generally taken to derive from the Old English personal name Efe plus tūn (“farm, enclosure”), giving the sense “Efe’s estate/settlement.” Despite its resemblance, it is not etymologically connected to the Greek-rooted Eustace/Eustathios family of names.

As a forename it remains rare, emerging in Britain, the Commonwealth, and the United States from the 19th century in step with the fashion for place- and surname-derived choices; the aristocratic courtesy title Earl of Euston helped keep it in public view. Modern variant spellings encountered include Eusten, Eustyn, and Eusten; related but distinct forms are Eustace, Eustis, and French Eustache. Possible nicknames are Stu, Eus, or Sonny. The name conveys a grounded, locational character with a subtle antiquarian note.
