Packston Origin and Meaning

The name Packston is a boy's name.

Packston is a modern masculine name that combines elements of the surname Paxton with the popular '-ton' ending found in names like Kingston and Preston. Paxton itself is an English surname meaning 'peace town' or 'Pæcc's settlement.' Packston has never ranked among popular boys' names in the United States or other English-speaking countries, making it an uncommon choice. The name has a strong, preppy quality with its double consonants and surname style. Parents might choose Packston for its contemporary sound, its blend of traditional elements in a fresh combination, and its strong masculine feel. The name fits with current trends toward distinctive surname-style first names for boys.
