Roy, Royce, Royal, and Rory are all in the US Top 1000, where they join a plethora of surname-inspired names ending in -son. Royson is a new consideration, with a smart, handsome feel to it, combined with a touch of the floral.
Royson for boys
The meaning of Royson depends on which root you follow, but possibilities include: "son of Roy", Roy being an anglicized form of both he Scottish name Ruadh meaning "red" and the French Roi meaning "king"; "son of Royce", where Royce is a medieval form of Rose; and "from Royston" a British place name, meaning "town of Rose".
The name has yet to rank in the popularity stats, but may see use in the future. Whether it's used for boys thanks to its -son ending, or for girls, thanks to its association with roses and its similarity to Roisin, is yet to be seen.
