Meaning and background
The story behind Fiston
Fiston has a recorded informal French association: Collins translates the masculine noun as lad. That gives a household a direct familiar-word reason for choosing it as a dog's name, rather than an invented personal-name root. A family may have its own story about the term of address. The dictionary supports this vocabulary use and reference pronunciation, without making it a universal name meaning in every language.
