Sefton is a masculine name with British and Old Norse Roots to help your little one feel right at home. Coming from the Old Norse sef and the Old English tun, it translates to “town in the rushes” or “settlement where rushes grow.” Rushes are grass-like plants that grow best in temperate regions, including the English county of Merseyside, where you can find the village called Sefton. If you want to encourage baby’s connection to nature or celebrate their family roots, Sefton is sure to help them find their footing in the grass.
