Elston is a boy's name of British origin, translating to "Elli's town" in Old English. It pays tribute to the ancient name Elli, which is tied forever to Norse mythology in a truly peculiar way. As the story goes, Elli was a woman of "old age" who defeated Thor in a wrestling match. Apparently, Thor's relation Loki had lots to say about this exchange.
