The Story of Maeson

Maeson is an alternate spelling of Mason, an English and Old French occupational surname for a stonemason or stoneworker. The word comes from Old French maçon, itself derived from a Frankish root related to modern German Macher (maker). Stonemasons held an elite status in medieval society — builders of castles, cathedrals, and civic monuments. The name entered the top 10 most popular boys' names in the US around 2010.

Mason exploded in popularity in the 2010s, largely fueled by reality TV — Kourtney Kardashian named her son Mason in 2009. The spelling Maeson emerged as parents sought a slightly more distinctive version of this popular name. Mason ranked #2 in the US in 2011.

Masonry and the Freemasons (a fraternal organization descended from medieval stonemason guilds) have given the Mason name additional associations with brotherhood, craft, and secret knowledge. In American culture, Mason also echoes the Jeffersonian stonemason tradition and American self-reliance.
