History & Origin
Peightyn is an elaborate respelling of Peyton, an English surname from an Old English name plus tun, 'town.' It appears in United States records around 2005, as Peyton surged for girls, and reached its small high around 2012. It was never common in this spelling, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its peak.
A girl named Peightyn from that period is a child or young teen now, and the decorative spelling reads as a distinctly twenty-tens creative variant. As Peyton stayed popular, elaborate versions like this remained rare; the standard spelling carries the trend.
