Nixson is English in Origin.

Nixson is a modern patronymic given name and surname variant meaning “son of Nicholas.” It stems from Middle English Nix/Nick, pet forms of Nicholas, ultimately from Greek Nikolaos - nike “victory” + laos “people,” hence “victory of the people.” The spelling with both x and s likely arose as a blend of Nix + son or as a creative respelling of Nixon, keeping the sharp consonant while feeling distinctive.

As a family name, forms like Nixon and Nickson are recorded in Britain and Ireland from the late medieval period and spread to North America. As a first name, usage rose in the United States and parts of Latin America in the 2000s–2010s; Nixson offers a fresher look and softens the overt presidential association of Nixon. Close variants include Nixon, Nickson, Nikson, and Nixxon; related forms are Nicholson. Short forms: Nix, Nico, Nick.
