Glason is English, Scottish in Origin.

Glason is a rare given name most plausibly drawn from surnames such as Gleason/Gleeson (Irish) and Glasson (English/Cornish). The Irish line traces to Ó Glasáin, “descendant of Glasán,” a diminutive of the Gaelic glas, meaning “green, blue‑gray, fresh.” The Cornish/English line may reflect a place‑name with the Celtic root glas “green/blue” describing verdant or gray‑green landscapes. Taken together, Glason carries senses of “descendant of the little ‘glas’ one” or “dweller by the green place,” evoking freshness and earthy tones.

As a first name, Glason surfaces in English‑speaking countries in the late 20th century amid the surname‑as‑given‑name trend and remains uncommon. It skews masculine but works as unisex. Noted variants and cognates include Gleason, Gleeson, Glasson, Glayson, and Brazilian Portuguese forms Gleison/Glayson. The name’s modern appeal lies in its sleek sound and layered Celtic color imagery without feeling overly tied to tradition.
