Hylton is a beautiful boy’s name of English origin. Coming from a combination of the Old English words hyll and tun, Hylton means “hill settlement” or “hill enclosure.” Hylton is also a name with a whole lot of history in its letters. And if you’re interested in the many monarchs of England, you might recognize Hylton from Hylton Castle in Sunderland, built by the Hylton family just after the Norman Conquest. Hilton might have made hotel history, but Hylton has a few kingdoms of its own to conquer.
