Mylton Origin and Meaning

The name Mylton is a boy's name.

Mylton is an uncommon masculine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Milton. The traditional Milton derives from an Old English place name meaning 'mill town' or 'settlement with a mill.' This alternative spelling with a 'y' gives the classic name a more distinctive appearance while maintaining its pronunciation. Milton reached its peak popularity in the early 20th century but has declined significantly since then, making Mylton an even rarer variant. The name carries literary associations through the renowned English poet John Milton. With its strong consonants and dignified sound, Mylton projects a scholarly, serious image while the unconventional spelling adds a touch of uniqueness to this otherwise traditional name.
