Meaning:Settlement within a dwelling
You won't have to guess where sweet Bolton's favorite place is; they'll show you every time they build a fort, play a game, or drift off to sleep there after a long day. One of many English last names that can double as a masculine first name, Bolton depicts the feeling of being totally comfortable and at ease in a location or with certain people. It derives from the Old English elements bothl, meaning "dwelling," and tūn, meaning "settlement," translating to "settlement within a dwelling." Historically, this definition would have described the house that the original Boltons lived in. Every time your little one eagerly reunites with their toys or attends a family gathering with you, you'll see what feeling "at home" looks like for them.
