Dayson is English in Origin.

Dayson is a modern English given name taken from the surname Dayson, literally “Day’s son.” In medieval England, Day functioned as a pet form of David (from Hebrew Dawid, “beloved”) and sometimes as a byname from Old English dæg, “day, daylight.” Thus the name can be read either as “son of David/beloved” or “son of Day,” evoking brightness and new beginnings.

The surname is documented in northern England from the 16th century, while use as a first name is rare until late 20th‑century North America, aligning with the broader surname‑style trend. Close relatives and variants include Dyson (from Dye, a diminutive of Dionysius/Dennis), Dawson (“son of Daw,” another David form), and spellings such as Daysen, Daison, and Deyson. Dayson remains uncommon yet familiar-sounding, with a crisp, contemporary profile.
