Meaning:From Gascony; Guest, stranger
Gaston is a unique name with French roots meaning “from Gascony.” Chances are, the name Gaston reminds you of The Phantom of the Opera author Gaston Leroux or the villain from Beauty and the Beast. While you may wonder why you would name baby after a fictional villain, Gaston was most likely chosen due to its traditional French connections. Another theory suggests that Gaston stems from the Germanic term for “guest” or “stranger.” Although your little one may be new to you when they first arrive, they’ll be no stranger to your heart or home.
