Layson Origin and Meaning

The name Layson is a boy's name.

Layson is a modern masculine name that likely emerged as a contemporary creation rather than having deep historical roots. It may have developed as a variant of names like Layton (meaning 'settlement with a leek garden') or Jason, or simply from the popular 'Lay-' prefix combined with the '-son' suffix common in many English names. The name has a crisp, modern sound that appeals to parents seeking something distinctive yet accessible. Layson remains uncommon in usage statistics but fits well with current naming trends favoring two-syllable names for boys ending in '-n'. The name conveys a contemporary, slightly preppy image while being straightforward to spell and pronounce.
