Nathon

Nathon is a masculine name that represents an alternative spelling of Nathan, which comes from Hebrew origins meaning 'he gave' or 'gift from God.' This spelling variation maintains the traditional pronunciation while offering a slightly different written form. Nathon began appearing with more frequency in the United States during the late 20th century as parents sought distinctive variations of biblical names. While less common than the standard Nathan, this spelling appeals to parents who want a recognizable name with a subtle twist. The name carries the same biblical associations as Nathan—notably the prophet who served in King David's court—while providing a point of distinction from the more widely-used spelling.

Pronounced NA-thun.

As of October 2026, Nathon ranked #13555 in US births in 2023 SSA, peaked at #1368 in 1906.
