Thanksgiving Names
- Eaton
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"riverside"Description:
Eaton's similarity to Eton gives it an upscale Old School feel, though in the U.S. a name that sound like eatin' could have teasin' potential. Eaton could also sound like the much-more-familiar Ethan with a tough-guy accent.
