Origin: Norse

Meaning: Calf; Settlement

Cason is an English masculine moniker that comes from the Old Norse name Kálfr, meaning “calf,” and the Old English word tun, meaning “settlement.” A fresh alternative for the name Cawston—also a village in Norfolk, England—it’s a fabulous title to celebrate baby’s British heritage. While Mason and Jason have topped the list of some of the best-loved boy names, Cason is a cool, modern twist that still pays tribute to the classics. As an augmentative form of the word casa, the name Cason can totally speak to baby’s Italian roots, too.
