Ruston Origin and Meaning

The name Ruston is a boy's name meaning "rush town".

Originally derived from an English surname, given to someone who lived in a town or settlement near a marsh where grass-like rush plants grew, Ruston feels similar in style to Ashton or Reed, but could also work as a twist on the more classic Russell.

The name of a town in Louisiana, it has been given to a small but growing number of boys in the US in recent years. 2024 saw it given to 40 boys, while alternative spelling Rustyn was given to 70 babies.
