Morton, a boy's name steeped in English and Scottish heritage, not only signifies "town near the moor" but also brings a distinctive charm to mind. Much like the peaceful moorlands it draws inspiration from, a little one named Morton exudes a quiet strength and a connection to nature. This habitational name is linked to different places named Morton or Moreton, blending Old English components: mōr, meaning "moor," and tūn, indicating "farmstead estate." Grounded in the earth, this name paints a picture of a down-to-earth lifestyle for every Morton out there.
