Meaning: Settlement on the bluff

Hunter, Hudson, and Huxley have ruled the baby name universe for a while now, but there's a new kid on the block! Darling Hutton is a gender-neutral name rooted in Old English, meaning "settlement on the bluff." While all earthy names have a certain charm, Hutton is blessed with a thrilling edge, like the mighty cliff it describes. Baby will probably be fearless and never back down from a challenge. Funny enough, this name is shared with 18th-century Scottish geologist James Hutton, known as the "father of modern geology." He famously pointed out that the planet's diverse landscapes, from mountains to oceans, formed over time and argued that the Earth could not possibly be young.
