Dutton

You can honor your English ancestral roots by calling baby Dutton. This surname-turned-given-name comes all the way from the villages in Cheshire and Lancashire that share its title. As a habitational name, Dutton means "hill settlement," coming from the Old English dūn meaning "hill" and tūn meaning "enclosure" or "settlement.” Dutton in Cheshire was even recorded in the ancient Domesday Book under Duntune, which the local Dutton family oversaw. Dutton is a gender-neutral gem and was among the top 1000 baby boy names in the US, with 291 boys and 16 girls having this moniker in 2022.
