Stratton is a male first name. In very rare cases it is also used for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Stratton is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 boys have been named Stratton.

If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Stratton.

After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Stratton seemed to be more popular than ever in 2022. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,690, 84 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Stratton, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Stratton was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The first name Stratton is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 247 Americans in total bear this name. And these 247 men are located in only five states: Arizona, Kansas, Tennessee, Texas and Utah (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 men with this name in the state. So, if your name is Stratton and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Stratton in relation to it’s male population is Utah. And yet even there, only one in 21,276 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Stratton present.
