Hi Lily,Afton is the name of a river and a place name in southern Scotland, but I don't know what it means. The only meaning I could find was that it _probably_ means "river" (no language given...).Regards, Satu

The meaning "river" or "river town" would make sense, since "Afon" is river in Welsh?

Maybe a form of Ashton?

Oh. I guess that info makes Afton more great, I would believe.
