Maesun is a modern, largely unisex given name that blends Mae with Sun, yielding a meaning-rich coinage.

The name also echoes the sound of Mason/Maison, though it is distinct in sense.

It skews slightly feminine via Mae yet works for any gender. Variants and near-variants include Mae-Sun, Mae Sun, Maeson, Maesyn, Maison, and Mason; nicknames Mae and Sunny are common.
