**Manton** is both a surname and an uncommon given name of English and Irish origins. It is derived from various place names throughout England, while in Ireland it is the anglicized form of the [Gaelic](/source/Goidelic_languages) "Ó Manntáin", or "descendant of Manntán", a personal name derived from a diminutive of "manntach" ("toothless").[1] Notable persons with the name include:
