Meaning and background
The story behind Greyson
Greyson looks as though it might mean 'son of Grey', yet the established surname history is more specific. The spelling is a variant of Grayson, traced to a surname interpreted as 'son of the steward' from Middle English greyve. It is pronounced GRAY-sun in the recorded English form. This is a good example of how a modern spelling can tempt a neat, but historically misleading, colour-based explanation.
