History & Origin

Jasten is a contemporary coinage that folds two well-worn boys' names together: the Jas- of Jason and the -ten of Justin, with a nod to Austin. The appeal is a name that sounds familiar yet is not quite any one of its parents, a hallmark of modern American invention.

Jasten has always been rare, given to only about fourteen boys a year even at its peak in the early two-thousands and just over a hundred boys in all. A boy named Jasten is in his early twenties today.

Did you know? Jasten reads like a merger of two nineteen-eighties favorites, Jason and Justin, remade as a single new name for a later generation.
