Bostyn

Bostyn Origin and Meaning

The name Bostyn is a girl's name.

Bostyn is a modern feminine name that appears to be a creative spelling variant of Boston, the Massachusetts city name. Boston itself comes from an English place name meaning 'Botolph's settlement' or 'Botolph's stone.' As a given name, Bostyn emerged in the early 21st century, reflecting the trend of using place names and creating distinctive spellings. The alternate spelling with a 'y' gives the name a more feminine appearance while maintaining the connection to the historic American city. While not among the most common names, Bostyn has gained modest popularity in North America, particularly appealing to parents looking for contemporary names with urban associations and unique spellings.
