Halston is English in Origin.
Halston is a transferred English surname, chiefly habitational rather than an old personal name. The Shropshire place-name appears in medieval records as Alston, and the linguistic base is Old English: hals, a neck or narrow ridge of land, joined to tun, enclosure, farmstead, or settlement. The literal topographic sense is therefore farmstead at the neck of land, not the later folk gloss hallowed stone.
As a given name, Halston belongs to the modern English pattern of adopting surnames as first names. Its public recognition in the United States owes much to Roy Halston Frowick, the American fashion designer known professionally as Halston in the 1960s and 1970s. Later bearers include actress Halston Sage, reflecting some female use, though American birth data also records it for boys from the 1980s onward. Spelling variants include Hallston and Halsten; Alston is a related surname form.
