The Story of Jaxten
Jaxten is a creative spelling variant of Jaxton, itself a modern extension of Jackson. Jackson derives from 'Jack's son' — Jack being a medieval English pet form of John (from Hebrew Yohanan, 'God has been gracious'). The addition of 'ten' creates a name with a more striking, distinctive sound than the now-ubiquitous Jackson.
