Dotson is a masculine name that acts as a spin on the English last name Dodson. Coming from the Middle English name Dodde, it translates to “rounded.” Round objects are rich with symbolism, from the mobility of the wheel to the cycle of time. This can be a great choice to encourage baby that, like the circle, their potential is endless. Dotson may also mean “son of Dodd” or “son of Rodger,” and can be a great way to connect baby to a family member of this name.
