HI, MY NAME IS RONNIE AITON AND IM FROM SUNNY GLASGOW, AND I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT OTHER PEEPS GETTING THE SPELLING WRONG, I READ YOUR MESSAGE AND I WAS TOLD THE NAME COMES FROM AYRSHIRE, ROBERT BURNS COUNTRY. ITS FROM THE DAYS OF THE PROTESTANT PERSECUTIONS WHEN WE HAD TO CHANGE THE SPELLING TO ESCAPE PERSECUTION. SO WE HAVE AITEN, ATKIN, ALTON.AYTON AND SO ON. HOPE THAT HELPS A LITTLE.
