Drexton Origin and Meaning

The name Drexton is a boy's name meaning "turner's town; dyer's town".

Inspired by the likes of Braxton, Paxton, and Daxton, Drexton is a modern sounding but little used option, given to just 5 babies in 2022. It likely derives from the occupational names Dressler and Dexter, combined with the Old English element tun meaning "town" or "settlement">.

Parents looking for alternatives to Braxton and co. might be interested in Drexton, though we're not sure it flows so easily off the tongue as its soundalikes.
