Of English origin, Atherton is an English masculine name. A habitational name, it stems from the elements Æthelhere, which was an old English given name, and tun, which was a word for settlement. It’s linked to a place in Manchester of the same name. It also carries other locational meanings like “the hill where the Hawthorne grows” or “dweller on the hill.” A title as grounded as the earth itself, this title fits the bill if you’re looking for something that will remind baby to stay grounded in a fast-paced world.
