About Parson
The name Parson might have seemed ridiculous even a few years ago, but when Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe named their son Deacon, they opened up a whole new field of ecclesiastical cool. Bishop, Priest, and Pastor are other possibilities.
Pronounced PAR-sun.
As of October 2026, Parson ranked #13395 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #7611 in 2022.
