History & Origin

Like its cousin Peytan, Peytin reshapes the popular unisex Peyton for a daughter. The root is the same English place-name, built from the personal name Paega and 'tun', a settlement, so the meaning of 'Paega's farmstead' carries through the new spelling.

In United States records Peytin appears thinly from the late nineteen-nineties into the twenty-tens. A girl given it around its late-two-thousands high point is now in her teens.

Did you know? Peytin is one of a cluster of respellings, alongside Peytan and Payton, that families used to make the unisex Peyton feel more like a girl's name.
