Middleton

US Popularity Rank: 6331

Origin: British

Meaning: Settlement in the middle

Unbiased, speaking the truth, and calling it down the middle, little Middleton will always be fair and honorable. In 2011, it became a household name throughout the world after Kate Middleton married William, Prince of Wales. Now known as Catherine, Princess of Wales, her position in the British royal family adds an extra layer of sophistication to baby's new moniker. A feminine British appellation meaning "settlement in the middle," Middleton is the perfect name to keep baby on the right track.
