Worldwide, Buxton (Buxton 
, Бакстон 
, بوكستون) is a rare epicene first name. The given name Buxton is characteristic of South Africa, where it is a very rare boy's name, the United States, where it is a very rare principally masculine, but scarcely female name, and Nigeria, where it is a very rare largely male, but seldom girly name. In absolute terms, the name is most common in the United States, Nigeria, and China. Much more frequently, Buxton is the last name as well as the forename.
