      The name Kelton has its origins in the English language and is derived from the phrase From the Calf farm. This name was often given to individuals who lived or worked on or near a farm that primarily raised calves. It can be traced back to the Middle Ages when names started to develop in England. During this time, people were often identified by their occupation or the location they hailed from, and thus the name Kelton came into existence.
