Globally, Eaton (Eaton 
, Eatun 
, Итон 
) is a rare gender-neutral forename. The first name Eaton is characteristic of Jamaica, where it is quite a rare boy's name, South Africa, where it is a very rare masculine name, and the United States, where it is a very rare predominantly boy's, but scarcely feminine name. Not in comparison with a country's population, this name is the most popular in the United States, India, and South Africa. Much more prevalently, Eaton is the last name as well as the forename.
Eaton is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: .
