Short answer: yes — moderately common.
Details:
- Preston is an English-language name (originally a place name meaning “priest’s town”) used as both a surname and a male given name.
- In English-speaking countries it’s familiar and regularly used, though not top-tier popular. In the U.S. it’s typically been outside the top 100 but often inside the top few hundred in recent decades.
- Usage varies by country and era (it’s more common in the U.S., Canada, Australia and the U.K. than in many non-English-speaking places).
If you want exact popularity numbers (rank or number of babies named Preston) for a particular country and year, tell me which country and year and I’ll look them up.
