Lleyton is a modern invented name that entered the U.S. baby name charts in 2000, likely influenced by the rise of tennis star Lleyton Hewitt. It reached its peak popularity in 2005, ranking 7,194th in 2025 with a 1-in-155,280 incidence.

Lleyton is a modern given name that first appeared in the United States in the early 2000s. It is likely a creative respelling of the English surname Leyton or Leighton, which itself derives from a place name meaning 'farmstead with leeks' in Old English. The name gained visibility through Australian tennis player Lleyton Hewitt, though the spelling with a double 'l' is a distinctively modern invention.
