Chason
Meaning of Chason
Chason is a masculine given name of Anglo-American origin, formed by blending the surname Chase—itself derived from the Old French chacer, “to hunt”—with the patronymic suffix -son, yielding the literal sense “son of the hunter.” Pronounced chay-suhn (ˈtʃeɪsən) in English, the name exemplifies a modern trend of adopting surnames as first names. In the United States, Chason has remained uncommon—ranking 915th in 2024 with just nine births—down from its peak position of 672nd in 1983; this gradual descent underscores its quiet persistence among parents seeking something distinctive yet grounded. Though it never stormed the top charts, Chason carries an understated energy and a nod to heritage that appeals to those preferring a name with familiar roots and measured individuality.
