Leaton, of Latin origin, is an uncommon yet distinctive given name for males. It is derived from the Roman family name 'Laetus', which means 'happy' or 'joyful'. The name Leaton is believed to have been brought to Britain by the Romans during their occupation of the island. Over time, it has evolved and been adapted into various forms, such as Letton and Lettun, though Leaton remains a unique variation.
"Leaton is quite rare; it only appeared ten times over five years."
