Creston
Meaning of Creston
Creston, pronounced KRES-tuhn (/ˈkrɛstən/), derives from an English toponym meaning “town on the crest,” evoking the image of a settlement poised atop a ridge. First recorded in U.S. birth data in 1906—when it briefly reached a rank near 240—it has since settled into a low but steady niche, hovering between ranks 900 and 950 with just five to eight newborns annually. Its literal association with a summit finds a subtle echo in Persian cultural reverence for soaring peaks—recalling the Alborz range’s symbolism of spiritual ascent—imparting a quietly ambitious, scholarly air. As a modern choice, Creston carries dry confidence: distinctive enough to avoid overcrowded playgrounds yet suggestive of an upward gaze toward horizons yet unexplored.
