Carrson

Carrson is a modern variant spelling of Carson, which originated as an English surname derived from the Scottish-Gaelic name 'MacCarson,' meaning 'son of Carr.' The name Carr itself has roots meaning 'dweller near a marsh' or 'rocky area.' The double 'r' spelling gives Carrson a distinctive contemporary flair while maintaining the strong, masculine sound of the original. In the United States, this spelling variation emerged as parents sought unique alternatives to more common names while preserving familiar sounds. Though less common than Carson, Carrson has gained some popularity in recent decades as part of the trend toward creative spellings of traditional names.

Pronounced KAR-sun.
