The Irish name Payton earns its meaning from its deep Gaelic roots, stemming from Gaelic Ó Peatáin, meaning “descendant of Peatán”, and Peyton, meaning "Pæga's settlement." For an extra touch, Payton can also be a pet form of the name Pádraig. Patrick is the English form of the name Pádraig, and it comes from the Latin term “patrician”, which means “noble.” Regardless of the language shifts and changes throughout the years, the name Payton carries the same air of nobility.
