Brighton is English in Origin.
Brighton is an English habitational name turned given name, taken from the Sussex coastal city. The place-name descends from Old English Beorhthelmes tun, "Beorhthelm's settlement," from the personal name Beorhthelm (beorht 'bright' + helm 'protection') and tun 'enclosure, town,' later recorded as Brighthelmstone. In contemporary baby-name use it's often interpreted more simply as "bright town," reinforcing its sunny, seaside associations.
As a first name, Brighton emerged in the late 20th century within the surname/place-name trend and has risen modestly in the United States, Canada, and New Zealand since the 2000s. It is considered unisex, though somewhat more common for boys, and benefits from upbeat nicknames like Bri and Bright. Spelling variants include Bryton, Brighten, Bryten, and Bryghton. Related forms echoing the 'bright' element include Albert and Bertram, though Brighton remains distinctly modern and breezily British in feel.
