Graison is English in Origin.

Graison (GRAY-son) is a contemporary variant spelling of the English surname-derived given name Grayson/Greyson. The surname likely arose either from Middle English greyve/greve “steward, reeve, bailiff” (ultimately from Old English gerefa), yielding the sense “son of the steward,” or as “son of Grey,” where Grey/Gray was a nickname from Old English græg for someone with gray hair or clothing. Both paths point to a patronymic meaning anchored in medieval English naming.

As a given name, the base form appears sporadically in the 19th century and has surged in Anglophone use since the late 20th century, aided by the broader fashion for surname names and visibility of the surname (e.g., DC Comics’ Dick Grayson). Graison is a modern, North American-leaning spelling. Related variants include Grayson, Greyson, Graeson, Graysen, and Graycen. Common short forms are Gray/Grey, Sonny, and Ray.
