Huxton Origin and Meaning
The name Huxton is a boy's name meaning "inhospitable town".
Huxton is a surname akin to Huxley. The second syllable ton means town, while ley usually means meadow or clearing, but Hux is credited with a range of meanings.
The most reliable is insult or scorn, as noted by Behind the Name, probably from the literal meaning hook. We translate that to inhospitable.
Despite its less-than-savory meaning, Huxton and Huxley are stylish names with the appealing short forms Hux and Huck.
