What Does the Name Cason Mean?
Cason is an English surname-derived name meaning "son of Cass" or "son of Casse." The ending -son is the common patronymic suffix, from Old English sunu (son). The first element is a medieval personal name, Cass or Casse, whose own origin is not certain. It is sometimes explained as a short form of a longer name such as Cassian, and it may also reflect an Old Norse byname. Cason is often treated as a variant of the surname Casson rather than being given a separate etymology. Cason is not related to the biblical name Jason, which has a different derivation. A separate Spanish surname, Casón, means "large house," from casa (house) plus an augmentative suffix; that is a different name with a different origin and is not the source of the English given name.
Cason Name History & Origins
The surname Cason is an English patronymic, formed from the personal name Cass or Casse with the suffix -son. It is closely related to the surname Casson, and both belong to the large group of English surnames that became hereditary in the Middle Ages. Patronymics ending in -son were especially common in northern and eastern England, where Scandinavian settlement reinforced that naming pattern. The surname was carried to North America, and in the United States Cason has been adopted as a given name. It follows the broad fashion of using surnames as given names, but it does not have a traditional history as a personal name in the Bible, in the saints' calendars, or in classical antiquity. Its use as a given name is therefore separate from its earlier life as a surname.
