Where does the name Payton come from?
Payton is a variant of Peyton, says Behind the Name, from an English surname that began as a place name meaning “Pæga’s town”. Wikipedia gives a second explanation, “fighting man’s estate”. Behind the Name says Peyton was a rare boys’ name until a female character in the 1992 movie The Hand That Rocks the Cradle started its rise for girls.
Other forms of Payton
Behind the Name lists Peyton as the main form and Paityn as another spelling. Pay is an easy short form; the hurdler Payton Chadwick uses it in the name of her cooking brand.

Wikipedia says she won the 60 meter hurdles at the 2018 NCAA indoor championships for the Arkansas Razorbacks by just 0.004 seconds, and took second at the 2020 USA indoor championships. With her husband, Cannon, she runs a cooking brand, Prepping with Pay.

A notebook for every Payton
Payton’s Notebook works just as well for a teenager as for a grandmother. It’s 6" x 9", which fits in most bags, with 160 lined pages and no printed layout to work around. Use it as a diary, a school notebook, a planner or a place to collect quotes and ideas. A name on the cover turns an everyday notebook into something personal.
Why choose a personalized notebook?
A plain notebook is useful. One with her name on it is a gift. Seeing “Payton’s Notebook” on the cover tells Payton it was chosen for her, not grabbed off a shelf, and that small touch is often what makes people keep a notebook going instead of abandoning it after a week.
