Meaning and origin
Kolton means A respelled variant of Colton, itself from an English place-name/surname traditionally glossed as 'Cola's town' or, in some modern parenting-source retellings, associated with 'coal town/settlement'; as a 'K' respelling, Kolton carries no independent lexical meaning beyond that of its parent form Colton.
Represents the broader modern American trend of respelling established surname-turned-given-names with a 'K' in place of a hard 'C' for stylistic distinctiveness (compare Kaleb/Caleb, Kason/Cason).
Documented origin: English, a 'K' respelling of the surname-derived given name Colton, from an Old English place name generally glossed as 'Cola's town.'
