Meaning and background
The story behind Gaston
Gaston has a qualified origin: the reference proposes a Germanic connection with a guest or stranger element rather than presenting it as certain. It also records historical French use, including its association with Saint Vedastus. The cited French reading ends with a nasal vowel, which ordinary English spelling does not fully convey. An owner may instead intend a particular character or namesake. State that connection separately, and choose the pronunciation you mean rather than assigning the spelling one universal spoken form.
