Boltan is a rare modern given name most likely an altered spelling of the English place-name and surname Bolton, which comes from Old English botl 'dwelling, house' plus tun 'enclosure, settlement'.

The updated -an ending and the echo of "bolt" give it a crisp, contemporary sound while preserving deep Anglo-Saxon roots.
