Origin: British

Meaning: Island settlement; Riverside; Deer

The British name Eaton is rooted in Old English and means "island settlement," "riverside," and "deer." The name has traditionally been used as a surname in England but has become increasingly popular for baby boys. It's the perfect choice if you're looking for something simple and classic with a bit of vintage charm. Eaton's also a stone's throw from Eton, as in the boarding school for boys attended by Prince William, writer George Orwell, and hunky actor Tom Hiddleston.
