Roberson Origin and Meaning

The name Roberson is a boy's name.

Roberson is primarily a surname that has occasionally transitioned to use as a masculine given name. It originated as a patronymic surname meaning 'son of Robert,' with Robert itself coming from the Germanic elements 'hrod' (fame) and 'beraht' (bright). As a first name, Roberson maintains the strong, traditional qualities associated with Robert but with a distinctive flair that sets it apart. While uncommon as a given name, it follows the trend of surnames becoming first names, similar to names like Harrison or Jefferson. Roberson carries a dignified, somewhat formal quality that might appeal to parents seeking a masculine name with traditional roots but less common usage in contemporary society.
