 While the etymology of the name is ambiguous, Stetson most likely stems from the Anglo-Saxon Stytt—a nickname for a boxer or fighter—or the Old English Stot/Stott—a nickname for a cattle dealer or a wild, young person. It might also derive from the English place name, Stidston, which means "Stithweard's town", stithweard being the Old English form of "Steward".
 
As a given name, Steston charted briefly back in the early 90s, before disappearing until 2013. Since then, it has climbed the charts and is now used 10 times more than it was when it first made its reappearance.
