Fredson is in Origin.
Fredson is an English patronymic surname-turned-given name meaning “son of Fred.” Fred is a short form of Frederick, from the Old High German elements frid “peace” and rīc “ruler, power,” yielding the sense “son of the peaceful ruler.” Some bearers may connect Fred to Alfred or Wilfred, but Frederick is the primary source.
Attested as a surname in Britain by the early modern period, Fredson later appeared as a first name in the 20th century, especially in the United States and Latin America (notably Brazil) where -son endings are fashionable; several Brazilian footballers have borne it. Variants and cognates include Fredsen/Fredriksen (Danish-Norwegian), Fredrickson/Fredrikson and Fredriksson (Scandinavian), and the less common Fredsson. Related forms and diminutives are Fred, Freddie, and Frederick.
