Meaning & Origin
A surname.
Coleson is a boy's baby name of Old English origin, a variant of Colson, a patronymic surname meaning "son of Cole," with Cole from the Old English col (coal, dark) or a short form of Nicholas. It has the friendly, surname-style energy of modern American boy names.
Coleson sits in the popular family of -son ending names — Grayson, Hudson, Mason, Colson, Coleson — that have defined a generation of American boy names. Its familiar sound with a slightly less common spelling gives parents the balance of recognition and distinction.
