Law-mans town or defenders settlement
Lexton is a modern English surname-style name. It likely originated as a habitational name referring to a specific farmstead or 'tun' belonging to someone named Leofca or as a variation of names like Lexington. In a modern context, it is often perceived as a creative blend of Lex and Paxton, inheriting the 'defender' meaning from the Greek root of Alexander.
