Liston is a masculine name of English origin that evolved from a surname meaning 'fortified settlement' or 'boundary stone town.' The name carries a distinguished, somewhat aristocratic quality reminiscent of traditional English surnames adopted as first names. While relatively uncommon as a given name, Liston gained some recognition through association with boxing legend Sonny Liston, the powerful heavyweight champion of the early 1960s. The name combines strength and refinement with its crisp consonants and classic structure. Phonetically similar to more common names like Preston and Weston, Liston nonetheless maintains a distinctive character. It appeals particularly to parents drawn to names with subtle historical connections and traditional masculine sounds without being overly common. Liston's rarity gives it a unique quality while still feeling accessible.
