Ashtyn

Ashtyn is a variant spelling of the English name Ashton, which derives from an English surname that originated as a place name meaning 'ash tree town'.

The name Ashton is composed of the Old English elements 'æsc' meaning 'ash tree' and 'tun' meaning 'town' or 'settlement'. It likely referred to a town or village situated near an ash tree or ash grove.

While Ashton is a more traditional spelling, the variant Ashtyn has become increasingly popular in recent years, particularly for boys. It may be chosen for its unique spelling or as a way to put a modern twist on a classic name.

Both Ashton and Ashtyn have a strong, masculine sound and may appeal to parents looking for a name with English roots and a connection to nature.
