Meaning & Origin of Axton
Meaning: Acca's stone (from an Old English personal name Acca plus 'stone'), a Kent place name later used as a surname.
Origin: English (place name/surname from Kent).
A common claim: Commonly glossed on baby-name sites as 'sword town.' Actually: Axton doesn't mean 'sword town' -- the 'Ax-' element comes from the Old English personal name Acca, not from 'axe,' and the ending derives from 'stan' (stone), not 'tun' (town).
