Mayson is English in Origin.

Mayson is a modern English given name, a respelling of the surname Mason. The surname derives from Middle English masoun, from Old French maçon, ultimately of Frankish (Proto-Germanic) origin meaning "stoneworker" or "builder." As a first name, Mayson therefore carries associations of craftsmanship, solidity, and foundation-building, and is used for boys most often, though occasionally unisex.

Found as a hereditary surname in medieval England, Mason entered given-name use in the English-speaking world during the 19th century, with a sharp rise from the 1990s onward. The Mayson spelling emerged in the early 21st century amid creative-y trends, offering a distinctive look without changing pronunciation. Common variants and related spellings include Mason, Maison, Masen, Maysen, Maeson, Masyn, and Macyn; short forms include Mase and May. The name remains popular in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the UK.
