Hughs town or settlement

It likely originated from a specific location meaning 'the settlement of Hugh,' combining the Germanic name Hugh (meaning heart, mind, or spirit) with the Old English suffix 'tun' (enclosure or town). It follows the modern trend of 'x' infused surname-style names like Braxton and Paxton.
