Kynaston is a boy’s name that’s distinctly English. Borne by many historical figures, including a 15th-century knight, Sir Roger Kynaston, and one of the last boy players in theatre, Edward Kynaston, it harks back to an era of handwritten letters and corseted gowns. The former is credited with having founded the Kynaston family of Hordley. Whether or not baby claims lineage, this moniker with its meaning, “royal peace settlement,” can surely inspire them to live a life of dignity, honor, and respectability.
