Dutton (name)
Dutton is an English surname and given name derived from a place name in England. It might ultimately be derived from a combination of the Old English name Dudda, a nickname that might have been given to a man who was fat,[1] and town or from Old English words meaning hill town.[2]

It was among the 1,000 most popular names for newborn American boys in 2022. Some 291 American boys were given the name in 2022. The name debuted on the United States popularity chart in 835th position for boys. Sixteen newborn American girls received the name in 2022.[3] The increase in usage of the name was inspired by the popularity of the television series Yellowstone that is set in modern-day Montana and of its spinoffs, 1883 and 1923, about ancestors of the family.[4] For some new parents, the name evokes imagery of cowboys and the Wild West.[5]
