Byson is a modern English given name, most often treated as a streamlined respelling of Bryson, a surname-turned-first-name meaning "son of Brice/Bryce." Brice (Latin Bricius) was popularized by a fifth-century bishop of Tours; the underlying Celtic element brictu is commonly interpreted as "speckled" or "freckled," with the patronymic -son yielding the straightforward sense "son of Brice." Phonetically, Byson echoes the English word bison, which sometimes lends the name a rugged, outdoorsy image, though the animal term is not the source.

Usage of Byson is recent and rare, emerging in late-20th to early-21st-century U.S. records amid the broader trend of reimagined surnames and creative spellings. Variants and related forms include Bryson, Brison, Brayson, Brycen, Brysen, and Brysin; nicknames range from By and Bys to Sonny. The name is used primarily in Anglophone countries and is pronounced BYE-sun.
