While its meaning is not tied to any specific language or culture, some parents may choose this name for its modern sound and appeal. Kholton is often used for boys, but it can also be considered as a unisex name given its unique vowel-consonant structure. Spelling variations include Cholton, Kohlton, and Kholeton, among others.
The name Kholton has seen varying popularity over the past fourteen years, with peaks in recent times.
