Meaning: Masin is a modern American boy's name that reads most naturally as a respelling of Mason, an English occupational surname for a stoneworker, from an Old French root. The single-s spelling trims the familiar name while keeping its two-beat sound. It carries no separate root of its own, inheriting the craftsman sense of Mason.Low

History & Origin
Masin appeared as Mason surged into one of the most popular American boys' names of the 2000s and 2010s, prompting variant spellings. Mason is an occupational surname for a stoneworker, from an Old French root, and Masin trims it to a leaner form. It appears in United States records around the turn of the millennium and was given to only a small number of boys.
It stayed rare, given to only a couple dozen boys a year at its high, so a boy named Masin then would be in his late teens today. It is best read as a spelling variant rather than a distinct name, and the standard Mason remained far more common.
