Garison is English in Origin.
Garison is a modern streamlined spelling of Garrison, an English surname turned given name. The surname has two intertwined sources: as a patronymic meaning "son of Garrett/Gerard," from the Germanic elements ger "spear" and hard "brave, hardy"; and through semantic association with the English noun garrison, borrowed from Old French garison "defense, protection." Together they lend the name senses of "son of the spear-brave" and "defended stronghold."
As a family name it appears across medieval England and Scotland and later in America, where it became widely recognized via abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison. As a first name it rose in late 20th-century US usage, helped by broadcaster Garrison Keillor; the one-r Garison remains the rarer variant favored for a cleaner look. Related forms and variants include Garrison, Garretson, Garrett, Gerard, and Irish Gearoid.
