Mayson

Mayson is a contemporary feminine name that originated as an English surname meaning 'stoneworker' or 'mason.' It represents a modern trend of adapting traditionally male names and surnames for girls. The spelling variation (compared to Mason) gives it a more feminine appearance while maintaining its strong, professional connotations. Mayson began gaining popularity for girls in the early 2000s, part of the trend toward occupational surnames as first names and the preference for names ending with the '-son' sound. Though still relatively uncommon for girls, its usage has been steadily increasing, especially in the United States, appealing to parents seeking a name that conveys both strength and uniqueness.

As of October 2026, Mayson ranked #3688 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #2721 in 2005.
