Dallton Origin and Meaning

The name Dallton is a boy's name.

Dallton is a masculine name that appears to be a variation of Dalton, which originated as an English surname derived from place names meaning 'valley town' or 'settlement in the dale.' The doubled 'l' creates a distinctive spelling while maintaining the original pronunciation. This subtle modification gives the traditional name a contemporary twist without dramatically altering its character. Dallton carries the strong, steady qualities of surname-based boys' names that became popular in the late 20th century. The name conveys a sense of reliability and straightforwardness, with its solid consonant sounds creating a masculine impression. While the standard spelling Dalton has historical significance and moderate popularity, Dallton remains quite uncommon, appealing to parents who want a recognizable name with a unique presentation. Its Anglo-Saxon roots give it a traditional foundation despite the modern spelling variation.
