Edyson is a boy's baby name of Old English origin, a variant of Edison, from the Old English surname meaning 'son of Eda' or 'son of Edward' — from the Old English elements ead (wealth, fortune) and sunu (son). Thomas Edison, the prolific American inventor, gave this surname world-wide recognition.
Edyson gives the inventor's surname a slightly different spelling — carrying the same innovative, world-changing energy that Thomas Edison made synonymous with this sound, with a personal phonetic twist.
