Dayten Origin and Meaning

The name Dayten is a boy's name.

Dayten is a contemporary masculine name that appears to be a modern variation of Dayton, which itself originated as an English surname derived from place names meaning 'day settlement' or 'dairy town.' This modern spelling variant emerged primarily in the United States in the early 21st century as part of the trend toward unique spellings of traditional names. Dayten has a bright, energetic quality with its connection to 'day' and follows the popular '-en' ending pattern seen in names like Jayden and Brayden. While uncommon in official statistics, Dayten represents the modern parental desire to create distinctive versions of established names. The name carries associations with daylight, brightness, and optimism while maintaining a strong, contemporary sound.
