About Grayson
Predominantly used for boys, Grayson did begin to climb the charts for girls in the late 90s. It has yet to make it to the Top 1000 however, and recent years have seen it decline in use as a unisex option. This is perhaps owing to the popularity of Grace, Gracie and Gracelynn instead.
Pronounced GRAY-sun.
As of October 2026, Grayson ranked #3117 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1113 in 2001.
