History & Origin

Natron is a modern American coinage rather than an inherited name, most plausibly built from a Na- element - echoing Nathan, 'gift' - and a crisp -tron ending. The identical spelling belongs to the mineral natron, a natural soda; we note both the likely Nathan link and the word, and describe the build honestly rather than fabricating a root.

It has always been rare, given to only about fifteen boys a year even at its small peak in the mid nineteen-nineties. A boy named Natron then is now in his thirties.

Did you know? Natron doubles as a real word: it is the natural soda that ancient Egyptians used to preserve and purify - so a very modern-sounding boy's name is also one of the oldest substances in recorded history.
