Dason is in Origin.

Dason is a modern English given name with surname roots and multiple plausible pathways. It most often reads as a streamlined form of Dawson, a Middle English patronymic meaning “son of David,” or as a phonetic twist on Jason, from Greek Iásōn, “healer.” The rare English surname Dason may also derive from Day + -son (“son of Day”), with Day used as a medieval pet form of David or from Old English dæg (“day”), reinforcing the Davidic link. Pronunciations commonly include DAY-sən and DAY-son.

As a first name, Dason sees sporadic use from the late 20th century onward, largely in North America and other English-speaking regions, rising alongside -son names like Mason and the rhyme of Jason. Variants and related forms include Dawson, Dayson, Dyson, Daison, Dasen, and Dacen; Dasan appears as a near-variant. Usage skews masculine but can be unisex in contemporary practice.
