Aftonn is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Afton, which derives from the name of a river in Scotland made famous by Robert Burns' poem "Sweet Afton." The name has Old English origins meaning "evening" or "dusk river." The distinctive double 'n' ending gives this version a unique, personalized feel while maintaining the lyrical quality of the original.

It gained modest recognition in the late 20th century in English-speaking countries, particularly among families appreciating its Scottish literary heritage. The name conveys a sense of tranquility and romantic elegance.
