Jesten is in Origin.

Jesten is a modern English given name, likely a creative respelling that blends the Welsh-form line of Justin - Jestin/Jestyn, from Iestyn - with the familiar English Justin. Through Latin Justinus (via Greek Ioustinos), it carries the meaning “just, righteous, fair.” The -en ending aligns it with contemporary naming patterns, giving a fresh look to a venerable root.

While Jesten itself has scant historical record and remains rare in English-speaking countries, its ancestry is well attested: numerous early saints named Justin popularized the Latin form, and the medieval Welsh ruler Iestyn ap Gwrgant anchored the Welsh variant in regional history. Spelling relatives and cognates include Jestin, Jeston, Jestyn, Iestyn, Justin, and the feminine forms Justine and Justina. Usage today is sporadic and chiefly in North America, with the name read as masculine but potentially unisex in modern practice.
