Greyson
“Old English surname, 'son of the steward' or 'son of the gray-haired'”
Greyson arrives with the texture of a wool coat on an autumn morning, somewhere between a color and a lineage. The surname-to-given shift comes from Old English, meaning son of the steward or son of the gray-haired one, and it carries a quiet, weathered gravitas into a fresh century. American parents took to the spelling with the E in the early 2000s, drawn to its softer look, and it now sits comfortably around the 127th most popular boy name. Two brisk syllables, a soft shoulder on the first, a clean stop on the second. Modern, understated, quietly distinguished.
