Origin: Scottish

Meaning: Boy, lad; Valet, page; Heron; The great stone

Garson is an on-the-nose masculine choice from the British and Scottish last name, with its well-known meaning of “boy” from the French garçon. Traditionally used as a label for a young page or valet, there’s so much more to this humble, industrious title. Garson may likewise be a form of the Spanish and Jewish Garzón, which can be a nickname meaning “boy,” “lad,” or “heron,” or a habitational last name for any place called Garzón. It could also be a respelling of Garston, another English coinage meaning “the great stone.” The Scottish and Irish last name Carson is a theorized origin, too, but its precise meaning is unknown. With its vast tapestry of history and charismatic vibe, Garson is full of soul for the baby with a big personality.
