Meaning & Origin

A male given name.

Westin is a boy's and girl's baby name of Old English origin, a variant of Weston, from the Old English meaning 'western settlement' or 'western town' — from west and tun (settlement). The -in ending gives it a slightly more contemporary feel than the more common Weston.

Westin has a clean, directional American character — there is something open and optimistic about a name that points west, toward horizons and new beginnings. It sits comfortably with Easton, Colton, and Dalton as a place-name surname with classic American appeal.
