Clayson
Meaning of Clayson
Pronounced KLAY-sən (/kleɪsən/), Clayson is an English surname-turned-given name formed from the Old English clǣg (“clay”) plus the patronymic suffix -son, literally “son of Clay.” Its etymology conveys a sense of grounded reliability without fanfare, aligning with modern tastes for names that feel both familiar and distinctive. In the United States, Clayson has maintained a modest, steady presence on the baby-name charts since the 1980s—peaking at rank 711 in 1987 and hovering in the lower 900s in recent years (seven boys were named Clayson in 2024, placing it at 917). This consistency suggests that while it never achieves widespread popularity, Clayson appeals to parents seeking an understated, Anglo-American choice with subtle ties to nature and tradition.
