Dayten
da(y)-ten
US Popularity:26590
Origin:British
Meaning:Ditch settlement
Replacing the -o in Dayton with an -e brings the gender-neutral name Dayten onto the scene. Both of these monikers are variants of Deighton, an Old English place name and last name derived from the elements dīc, meaning "ditch," and tūn, meaning "settlement." From these elements, Dayten earns the translation of "ditch settlement," so it may have once been bestowed on individuals who lived near a ditch or a moat. With its trendy sound and distinctive spelling, Dayten is a lovely choice for the newest day-brightener in your life.
