Aleighson is English in Origin.

Aleighson is a modern, inventive respelling of Alison/Allison, blending the fashionable element -leigh- with the long-established medieval name. Alison arose in Middle English (Alisoun), a diminutive of Alice from Old French Aliz/Adelais, ultimately from the Germanic Adalheidis, meaning “noble kind” or “of noble sort.” While the -son ending looks patronymic, in this case it comes via the surname-style spelling Allison and does not change the underlying “noble” sense.

Usage of Aleighson is very rare and contemporary, fitting current trends for -leigh spellings and unisex, surname-like first names. It can be used for any gender, though most bearers of the Alison/Allison family have been female in English-speaking countries since the Middle Ages (famously Chaucer’s Alisoun). Close variants include Alison, Allison, Alyson, Allyson, Alisson, Alisoun, Alysone, and creative forms such as Aleighsonn, Aleyson, and Alayson.
