Chayton

Chayton ~ Falcon ~ Sioux tribe


Chayton is a Native American name that stands out as one with a lot of great qualities. It's a unique name—so unique you won't even find it in the top 1,000.

A name similar in sound is Clayton, which sits at 226. Though the names are distinctively different, I think the rankings give us a clue about how Chayton will hit people. It's a name that fits well with English phonetics but is still different, and I think most Americans will like the sound.

And then there's the meaning. Ask almost any guy and they will tell you falcons are cool. The bird-of-prey is the fastest moving creature on earth and has twice a human's power of vision.

This name has one more thing going for it: the nickname Chay, which sounds both adorable for a little boy and appropriate for a grown man. It's a nice alternative to the more popular names Clay or Chet.
