Brighton

Brighton is an English place name that refers to a town located in East Sussex, England. The name is derived from the Old English words 'beorht' meaning 'bright' and 'tun' meaning 'town.'

The town of Brighton is known for its seaside resort and famous pebble beach. It has been a popular destination since the 18th century when it gained prominence as a fashionable getaway for the wealthy and aristocratic.

The name Brighton has been adopted as a given name, particularly for boys, likely due to its pleasant sound and association with the vibrant coastal town.

While originally a place name, Brighton as a given name carries connotations of brightness, liveliness, and perhaps a connection to the seaside or coastal regions.
