Harryson

Harryson is a modern masculine name that functions as a patronymic surname-turned-first-name, literally meaning 'son of Harry.' It combines the classic name Harry (a medieval English form of Henry, meaning 'home ruler') with the suffix 'son.' This creation follows the trend of transforming surnames into given names, similar to names like Harrison, Jackson, and Jefferson. Unlike the more common Harrison, Harryson retains the spelling of the original name Harry, giving it a slightly more direct connection to its root name. The name remains quite rare as a first name, never appearing in top name rankings. It offers parents a way to honor a Harry in the family while providing a longer, more formal-sounding option. Its recognizable components make it accessible despite its rarity.

Pronounced HAR-ee-sun.

As of October 2026, Harryson ranked #11362 in US births in 2022 SSA, peaked at #9002 in 2003.
