Creighton

Meaning of Creighton

Creighton is a distinguished name of Anglo-Scottish heritage, woven from the Old English crēag (“rock”) and tūn (“settlement”) to evoke the enduring strength of a medieval Midlothian township. With its crisp pronunciation—KRAY-tuhn—it carries the same steady assurance as the foothills of the Western Ghats, blending solidity and warmth in equal measure. Favored by parents who appreciate names that balance time-honored tradition with subtle originality, Creighton offers a scholarly charm without any hint of stuffiness, much like a neatly pressed kurta at a festive gathering. Still pleasantly uncommon in the United States, it lends a sense of quiet confidence, suggesting a boy poised to build his own legacy with resilience, curiosity and perhaps a dash of light-hearted wit at the very next family gathering.
