Hamelton
ha-mel-ton,
ham(e)-lton
Origin:British
Meaning:Crooked hill; Mutilated hill
Even when the climb toward their goal seems long and difficult, little Hamelton will persevere until they reach the summit. This masculine moniker’s alternative spelling, Hamilton, has taken center stage in recent years, though perhaps it’s time for Hamelton to take a bow! Both titles derive from the Old English words hamel, meaning “crooked” or “mutilated,” and dun, meaning “hill.” When combined, these words give Hamelton the translation “crooked hill” or “mutilated hill.” If little Hamelton ever feels like they’re walking on unsteady ground, their name will remind them to dig in their heels and take their shot at success.
