The newest cowboy-cool kid on the block is Dutton, introduced by the hit Western drama series Yellowstone. It's seen as a surname in the series, which follows the Dutton family on their ranch. But Americans' affinity towards surname names and the similarities to Sutton have inspired fans of the show to use Dutton for their sons — so much so that Dutton took the title as the fastest-rising name in 2022, jumping a whopping 986 spots. 
 
Dutton is still relatively uncommon as a given name, but it is definitely one to watch and could become a mainstream favorite in no time. Country singer Chris Lane and wife Lauren Bushnell chose it for their son, Dutton Walker.
 
Dutton is an English habitational surname with two origins. The first derives from the Old English dun, meaning "hill," and tun, "settlement," while the second comes from the surname Dodd, which may have originally been bestowed on people who were considered round.
