Peyton

Peyton is a gender-neutral name of Irish and English origins. In Ireland, it is considered a variant of Patrick, while in England, it was a habitational surname before becoming popularized as a given name. As far as meanings go, few could compete with Peyton’s. The name means “fighting man’s estate,” which conjures images of medieval English warriors defending their castle. In more modern contexts, Peyton, and its closest variant Payton, are fashionable for both baby girls and boys.
