Origin: British

Meaning: Settlement of Maccus; Stone of Maca

Maxton is a boy’s name of English and Scottish origin. Both a surname and a given name, it derives from two place names. One is in Roxburghshire, Scotland, and combines the words tun (settlement) and Maccus, a personal name, to mean “settlement of Maccus.” The other is in Hougham, England, and combines the Old English personal name Maca with the word stan (stone) to mean “stone of Maca.” This name has a cool, modern feel despite its ancient roots, giving it the best of both worlds!
