Paxten Origin and Meaning

The name Paxten is a boy's name.

Paxten is a modern masculine name with roots in Latin, derived from 'pax' meaning 'peace.' It emerged in the early 21st century as a variation of the more established Paxton, which began as an English surname. The name has gained modest popularity in recent years, particularly in the United States, as part of the trend toward surnames and place names being adopted as first names. Paxten has a contemporary feel with its strong consonant sounds and trendy '-en' ending. The name may appeal to parents seeking something modern yet substantial, with a positive underlying meaning. While still uncommon, Paxten has been steadily increasing in usage, especially for boys, though it occasionally appears as a unisex option.
