Huntington

Meaning of Huntington

Huntington bursts onto the scene like a dapper explorer with a wink, wrapping centuries of English countryside lore and Wild West swagger into one unforgettable package. Pronounced HUN-ting-tuhn (/ˈhʌntɪŋtən/), this spirited masculine name literally means “settlement of the huntsmen,” conjuring images of rolling green hills, hunting parties at dawn, and hearthside tales spun under starlit skies. It tiptoes through history as a stately surname—think English manors and Gilded Age railroad tycoons—then gallops across the Atlantic to plant its flag on sun-drenched Huntington Beach. Though Huntington remains delightfully rare (only nine little boys claimed it in 2023, landing at No. 920 in the U.S.), its steady perch between ranks 700 and 900 over the last two decades hints at a growing cadre of bold parents who crave both heritage and individuality. With its aristocratic cadence and frontier spirit, Huntington invites every boy who bears it to be a trailblazer, equally at home in a tweed jacket or a pair of well-worn boots.
