History & Origin

Walten is a recent respelling in the very active -en family of American boys' names (Kayden, Camden, Holden). Behind it stand two solid names: the surname Walton, from Old English for 'the settlement by the wall', and the Germanic Walter, 'army ruler'. Which one a given family has in mind varies, so the routes are uncertain — we note that honestly (said 'WAWL-tun').

It appears only rarely in U.S. records. Rare, modern, and surname-flavoured.

Did you know? Walten swaps the -on of Walton for a trendier -en. It hovers between that English surname — 'the settlement by the wall' — and the classic Walter, 'army ruler'. Routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'WAWL-tun').
