What does Hamilton mean?
/ˈhæməltən/3 syllablesOrigin: a surname

Hamilton began as a Scottish place name and surname, built from Old English elements usually explained as hamel, 'blunt' or 'flat-topped,' and dun, 'hill.' It later became an established given name, carried into wider recognition by notable historical figures who've shared it.

Hamilton has a distinguished, slightly formal ring — a good match for a composed, confident companion who seems to know exactly how impressive they are.
