Halten is Norse in Origin.
Halten is a modern given name with English surname and place-name roots. It is most plausibly a spelling variant of Halton, from Old English halh (a nook, hollow, or river bend) + tūn (farm, settlement), yielding the sense “homestead in a nook” or “settlement by a bend.” The form with -e- is rare and may be influenced by the look of other contemporary -ten names; associations with German halten “to hold” are coincidental rather than etymological.
As a forename, Halten is uncommon, appearing in Anglophone records mainly from the late 20th century amid the rise of transferred surnames. Variants and near-relatives include Halton and Haulton; stylistic cousins are Hilton, Alton, Colton, Dalton, and Walton. Usable nicknames are Hal or Ten. The name’s toponymic heritage links it to several English Halton parishes in Cheshire, Lancashire, and Northumberland.
Halten is a genuine rarity. In all, it appears just 2 times, across 1 country.
