In all the world, Linton (Linton , 林顿 , לינטון ) is quite a rare boy's forename. The first name Linton is habitual in Latin America and the Caribbean, particularly Saint Lucia, where it is quite a common boy's name, Jamaica, where it is quite a rare masculine name, and Nicaragua, where it is a rare male name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in the United States, South Africa, and Indonesia. More prevalently, Linton is the last name as well as the forename.
Linton is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Linton Heathcliff , the fictional character in the novel Wuthering Heights and Papa Midnite , the comics character, Constantine.
