History & Origin

Jacson is a spare respelling of Jackson, the surname-turned-first-name meaning 'son of Jack.' Jackson became one of America's favorite boys' names, and lighter spellings like Jacson trailed behind it. The clipped form keeps the sound and the plain 'son of Jack' meaning.

Jacson stayed very rare, given to only about twenty boys a year at its high point around 2009, a tiny shadow of the popular Jackson. A boy named Jacson then is a teenager today.
