Beson is English in Origin.
Beson is a rare given name with dual surname roots. In English it likely developed as a patronymic, Bess + -son, meaning "son of Bess," with Bess the medieval short form of Elizabeth. In French and Occitan contexts it aligns with the surname Besson, from Old French besson "twin," ultimately from Latin bis "twice," giving Beson the sense of "twin."
Used chiefly as a family name from the Middle Ages onward, Beson only later migrated into given-name use, appearing sporadically in Anglophone records from the 19th century and today chosen for its crisp sound and surname-style individuality. Spelling relatives and cognates include Beason, Beeson, and Besson; Benson is a more common, though etymologically adjacent, form. Because of its separate pathways, Beson can be interpreted either as "son of Bess (Elizabeth)" or "twin," depending on family heritage.
Beson is exceptionally rare. Across 16 countries, we found just 35 recorded uses of it.
