## **Etymology**

* **Paxton:** Paxton is the transferred use of an English surname derived from a place name, so called the village of Paxton in Huntingdonshire, first recorded as Pachstone in the 11th century. The name originates from the Olde English “Pœcces tun” meaning ‘peaceful farm’. The oldest recorded spelling of the surname came in the 12th century and was spelled “du Paxtun”. Paxton as a forename is sometimes given to little boys in the English speaking world, although it’s most common in the United States.
* **Evans:** A surname of Welsh, and possibly Cornish, origin. Within Wales it is the fifth most common surname and is the tenth most common in England. Within the United States, it is ranked as the 48th-most common surname. Evans is of Welsh origin. In its anglicised form the name means "son of Evan". Regarding its Welsh roots, it is a derivative of the name ***Ifan***, a cognate of John.[5] In the Welsh language, the *f* produces the *v* sound; *Ifan* (*Ivan*) became *Evan*. The similarity to the Slavic name Ivan is not accidental, as the latter is a cognate of John too. In the Welsh language the patronymic "ab Evan" resulted in the anglicized surname "Bevan", which is also common in Wales.

## **Trivia**

* Pax got her name from a list of 50 P names, the same list her mother and Grandmother used, and both her great-grandmother Melinda Halliwell, and the first witch of her family Melinda Warren.
* Her powers were bound when she was five years old.
