- Elton Meaning
- From a surname which was originally from a place name meaning "Ella's town" in Old English. A famous bearer of this name is British musician Elton John (1947-), born Reginald Dwight, who adopted his stage name in honour of his former bandmate Elton Dean (1945-2006). While the origin of the name "Elton" is definitely Old English, its meaning is not concrete. One theory suggests that this name could have come from the Old English name “Aethelflaed", whose meaning is "noble beauty", with the added suffix "tun" meaning "place or enclosure". Another theory suggests that this name could have come from the words "Ella", a name, plus "tun", land, meaning "Ella"s land". It could also have come from the Old English words "ael", which means "eel", and "tun", meaning "place or enclosure", referring to a place where eel"s were caught.
