Sutton is English, Old English in Origin.
Sutton is an English surname and place-name transferred to given-name use. Its root language is Old English, where sūþ meant south and tūn denoted an enclosure, farmstead, estate, or village; together they formed the toponym Sūþtūn, literally southern farmstead or southern settlement. Medieval documentary spellings for places so named include Domesday forms such as Sudtone and Sutone, reflecting Norman scribal habits before the modern spelling settled.
As a hereditary surname, Sutton identified families from one of the many English villages called Sutton, especially across the Midlands and southern England. Given-name use is modern and mainly American, part of the broader fashion for surnames as first names. In the United States it entered the girls’ top 1,000 in 2013 and the boys’ list in 2015, with stronger recent use for girls. Public associations include actor Sutton Foster and fictional Sutton Mercer of The Lying Game.
