Peyson
Meaning of Peyson
With a pronunciation of PAY-suhn (/peɪˈsən/) and unisex appeal, Peyson derives from the Old English surname Peyton—a toponymic name meaning “Pæga’s town”—and has evolved into a contemporary, gender-neutral given name. Over the past decade, its U.S. usage has hovered between ranks 876 and 936, with just five to sixteen newborns per year, signaling a steady yet understated presence. In a manner reminiscent of a Persian garden’s measured symmetry, Peyson balances its architectural etymology with a fresh spelling. Despite its modest footprint, it remains a quietly distinctive choice—unlikely to set off alarm bells on the playground, yet memorable to those attuned to its subtle historical resonance. Analytically speaking, this fusion of heritage and modernity makes Peyson an appealing option for parents seeking a name both familiar and intriguingly off the beaten path.
