Daytan Origin and Meaning

The name Daytan is a boy's name.

Daytan is a modern masculine name that appears to be a variant of Dayton. While Dayton originated as an English surname derived from place names (particularly the city of Dayton, Ohio), Daytan represents a contemporary spelling variation. The name has a strong, distinctive sound with its two syllables and crisp consonants. Daytan began gaining modest usage in the United States during the late 20th and early 21st centuries, part of the trend toward unique spellings of traditional names. The name projects an image of strength and individuality. While not among the most common names, Daytan appeals to parents seeking a masculine-sounding name with a contemporary flair.
