Likely a modern combination of Chandler and Winston
Chanston is a contemporary American invention, likely created by blending the occupational surname Chandler with the classic English surname Winston. It follows the popular trend of adding the '-ston' suffix to familiar prefixes to create a unique, surname-style given name. Because it is a modern coinage, it lacks a singular historical etymology.
