The name Hareton is a boy's name of English origin meaning "hare town".

Used by Emily Brontë in her novel Wuthering Heights , Hareton is a distinctive, rugged and literature-inspired choice. With the sounds of an English place name and the vibes of a last name as a first name, Hareton was likely an invention of Emily Brontë's, which she created by changing up the name of a neighbourhood family, The Heatons. 
 
While Brontë's character is very proud of his name, some may find it just a little too "hairy" for the real world. Ayreton and Hartley are similar options if the sounds of Hareton do intrigue you.
