Karson

Karson is a modern spelling of Carson, a surname used as a first name. Carson is associated with Scottish and English surname traditions, but its deeper meaning is not securely settled. The often-repeated explanation involving marsh dwellers is more certain than the evidence warrants, so the surname connection is the most reliable starting point.

Changing the opening “C” to “K” usually leaves the pronunciation unchanged. It does, however, create a separate spelling to remember and a separate entry in name statistics. Families considering Karson may want to compare Carson as well, especially when honoring a relative: preserving an inherited surname and choosing a preferred modern spelling are different kinds of personal connection.
