Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Graysen

Graysen is an Americanized alternate spelling of the surname-turned-first-name Grayson (a baby boy’s name that has become quite popular in the United States and Canada in recent years). Ultimately, Grayson developed as a medieval surname derived from an occupation. The name originates from the Middle English “greyve” (from the Old Norse/Viking “greifi”) signifying a person holding the position of a steward (someone in charge of an estate or property). Stewards were high-ranking officials appointed by the monarchy to oversee/govern specific land or property. The name Grayson basically indicated the son of a steward, typically a son who followed his father in the same line of profession. As the surname craze got under way in the United States, Grayson rose in popularity and is now a Top 100 favorite nationwide.
