Jeferson Origin and Meaning

The name Jeferson is a boy's name.

Jeferson is a variant spelling of Jefferson, a surname-turned-first-name that honors Thomas Jefferson, the third U.S. president. The name has English origins meaning 'son of Jeffrey,' with Jeffrey deriving from Germanic elements meaning 'peace' and 'traveler.' This particular spelling, omitting one 'f,' is more common in Latin American countries, especially Brazil. The simplified spelling maintains the distinguished sound and historical associations of Jefferson while adapting to different linguistic patterns. As a masculine given name, Jeferson projects strength and intelligence while carrying the gravitas of its presidential connections. Despite being less common than the traditional spelling, it offers a subtle distinction while remaining recognizable.
