Dalton

Male

Dalton is an English surname that became a given name, possibly deriving from the place name Dalton-in-Furness in Cumbria, England. The name's origins relate to a settlement near a 'valley' (dale) or to a person who lived in such a place.

While it shares origins with place names, Dalton carries a strong and somewhat classic feel, and there aren't many widely known fun facts associated specifically with the name itself.
