History & Origin

Winson is an English-style surname name with more than one plausible parent: Winston, an Old English place-name meaning 'Wine's settlement'; Wilson, 'son of Will'; or a straightforward patronymic, 'son of Win'. It is also widely chosen as an English given name by Chinese families in Hong Kong and the diaspora. Because no single line is documented, we call the routes uncertain (said 'WIN-sun').

It appears only rarely in U.S. records. Rare, surname-style, and trim.
