Clayton
Clayton Origin and Meaning
Clayton is one of those names that feels like it could be recently popular but does in fact have a long history of use. It has made the US Top 400 every year since the records began, and though more recently it has been in decline, it is still given to more than 1000 babies every year
The name Clayton derived from Old English and translates to "clay town". Historically used as a place name and as a surname, it has been a given name since at least the 19th century. Smart but cool, Clayton also comes with the catchy nickname Clay.
While Clayton has been falling down US the charts in recent years, across the pond, the latest UK stats reveal it is in fact trending upwards. Moreover, with the likes of Cooper, Carson, Colton, Weston, and Easton all in style, Clayton wouldn't feel out of place on a baby today.
