Winsten is another spelling for the English name Winston. It means “wine’s town” or “friend’s town” and is traditionally given to males. Another meaning is “joyful stone,” from Old English wynn, meaning “joy,” and stan, meaning “stone.” The British statesman Sir Winston Churchill is perhaps the most well-known bearer of this name. It’s also featured as the main character in George Orwell’s 1984 and similarly appears in Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction. Let your little one become a part of the renaissance of this timeless name.
