Although not widely common, Layson has been gradually appearing in the United States over the past two decades. The name first entered records in 2001 and has shown sporadic usage since then, with its highest rank being 4940 in 2016 when there were 19 newborns named Layson. This name's rarity adds to its distinctive charm, making it an appealing option for parents seeking something both contemporary and uncommon.
