Dry valley or from the forest settlement
Dreydon is a modern invented name, likely a phonetic variation of the English surname Drayton or a blend of names like Drew and Hayden. Drayton itself stems from Old English roots meaning 'dry town' or 'settlement near a portage'. It has gained some traction as a unique alternative to more popular '-den' ending names.
