Today we had an order for the name "Preston". Preston means "From the Priest's Town". In general, English names that end with "ton" are going to be "From the ______ Town", because "ton" is the shortened form of "town." So in this case, "Pres" is the shortened form of "Priest". It's pretty obvious once you see the pattern. The most recent Social Security Administration data for the U.S. puts "Preston" at #114 in terms of popular names for babies born.
