Eatton Origin and Meaning

The name Eatton is a boy's name.

Eatton is an uncommon masculine name that appears to have originated as a surname before transitioning to occasional use as a first name. It likely derives from Old English place names combining elements meaning 'river' and 'town' or 'settlement.' Similar to surnames-turned-first-names like Easton or Eaton, Eatton has geographical connotations but with a less common spelling variation. This name has never ranked among popular given names in English-speaking countries, remaining exceedingly rare. Its sound and structure align with contemporary trends favoring strong surnames as first names, particularly those ending with the '-ton' suffix that suggests stability and heritage.
