Personal communication [JMS]
Notes:

There is a significant occurrence of this forename in the 1841 Census of Aberdeenshire, presumably derived from the surname Johnston/Johnson, meaning "son of John". We believe that modern usage is mainly in the US.

A correspondent [JMS] asserts that the forename Johnstone [q.v.] is prevalent in Scotanld.
