Gorton

When little Gorton returns from playing outdoors, their muddy shoes and hands will tell you they had a blast. Originally a habitational last name, Gorton was once given to those who lived in certain locations. It's also a masculine first name, well-suited to tiny tots who like to run and play in the world's most soggy and mucky places! Deriving from the Old English elements gor and tūn, Gorton means "muddy settlement" or "muddy enclosure," describing the land that belonged to the Gortons of time's past. From the joy of jumping in muddy puddles to the thrill of running through rain-soaked grass, your Gorton will experience nature at its very best.
