Nyllton is in Origin.

Nyllton is a modern, stylistic respelling of Nilton/Nylton, the Portuguese given-name adaptation of the English surname Newton. The name ultimately derives from Old English neowe "new" + tun "enclosure, settlement, town," yielding the sense "new town." While Newton arose as a toponymic surname in medieval England, its transformation into given names spread more broadly in the 19th to 20th centuries, and in Lusophone countries Nilton became established, especially in Brazil.

The double-L in Nyllton is a contemporary twist designed to distinguish the bearer while preserving the familiar sound. Close variants include Nilton, Nylton, Nílton, Neuton, and the original Newton; Brazilian diminutives such as Niltinho also occur. Usage of the Nilton/Nylton family peaked in mid-to-late 20th-century Brazil, influenced by admiration for scientific and sporting figures bearing the cognate. Nyllton itself remains rare and modern in feel, carrying the approachable meaning "new town" with an international pedigree.
