Origin, Meaning, And History Of Bryson
Bryson is a derivative of the English surname meaning ‘son of Brice.’ It could have been derived from the Gaulish name meaning ‘speckled,’ and later Latinized. The name also has possible roots in Irish, where it could be an anglicized version of the Gaelic names Ó Briosáin or Ó Muirgheasáin, or mean ‘son of a nobleman.’ In Scottish, the patronymic form of the name is derived from combining Brice and -son from the name Bricius.
Brice was the name of a 5th-century saint and was a popular first name in France and Germany during the early Middle Ages. The Normans later brought the name to England and Scotland. In Germany, the name was spelled Brixius. In the United States, Bryson started gaining popularity in the 1970s and has since seen significant growth. Its popularity may be due to its similarity to other names such as Brice, Bryce, and Tyson.
