English origin

An English place name and surname used as a given name, likely derived from Old English 'hæt' (hot/heated) and 'tūn' (settlement), suggesting 'hot spring settlement' or 'heath settlement.' As a first name, Hatton has an aristocratic, surname-forward appeal that works for both boys and girls. It evokes English country estates and literary sophistication.
