If a name with a regal ring to it is most fitting for baby, Dayson—a boy’s name of English origin—might be your match! The name Dayson comes from the Scottish patronymic surname Dawson, which means “son of Dawe” or “son of David.” In the Christian Bible, the “Son of David” was a title of kingly significance saved only for The Messiah, reminding believers—both past and present—of his divine anointing as deity over all.
