Re: What is the meaning of my name Caton?
It was in a reference book at the library. Book said Caton was
from Cade. Cade was an English word borrowed from Middle German. The Middle German meaning had something to do with a lumpy big person, probably fat. Sort of like "chunk", which is amusing because I'm a Caton and could sure as hell stand to lose a few pounds.
Said book also mentioned that it was a place name for some like-named village in England.
I was always told I was Celtic. Am happy to finally learn the truth: I am an American mutt named after an old English lard-ass.
