Dayson
Meaning of Dayson
Dayson is a modern English-derived name originally borne as a surname and literally meaning “son of Day,” with Day tracing back to the Old English dæg, or “day.” As a contemporary variant of patronymics such as Dawson and Dyson, it conveys a sense of clarity and unadorned energy. Pronounced DAY-suhn, it has maintained a modest but steady presence in American naming charts since the mid-1980s; in 2024, 27 boys received the name, placing it at 897. Its straightforward pronunciation and modest rank mean a boy named Dayson is neither burdened by obscure spelling nor one of a dozen classmates sharing his name.
