Meaning and history
Cason is a modern English given name derived from a surname. The surname has more than one possible origin and should not be assigned a single certain meaning: in some families it may be a patronymic or a shortened form of another surname, while modern use is also influenced by similarly formed names such as Mason and Carson. Claims that it universally means “son of the marsh-dwellers” or has an ancient heroic sense are not securely supported. Reliable historical significance and prominent given-name bearers are limited.
