Barton is English in Origin.
Barton is an English surname-turned-given name derived from Old English bere “barley” + tūn “enclosure, homestead.” In Middle English, barton denoted a manor farm or grange - an outlying farmyard where grain was stored - hence the meaning “barley settlement” or “manor farm.” The element appears in numerous English place names, especially in the West Country, and the surname identified someone who lived at or worked on such a farm.
As a first name, Barton gained currency in Britain and the United States in the 19th century, following the fashion for surnames as given names, and saw modest use through the mid-20th century. Notable bearers include English actor Barton Booth, American minister Barton W. Stone, and film actor Barton MacLane. Common short form is Bart; variant spellings are rare, and feminine forms uncommon. Distinct in origin from biblical Bartholomew, though sharing the nickname Bart.
