Meaning & origin
Winson is a rare English given name with a straightforward patronymic origin. First recorded in 1914, it has never achieved widespread popularity. Its peak year was 2002, though even then the number of births was minimal. The trajectory has been stable, meaning its usage has fluctuated very little over time. With a 2025 rank of 9,714 and an incidence of 1 in 244,011, Winson is an uncommon choice that maintains a traditional feel. No U.S. state saw enough births to register as a top state for the name, reflecting its extremely low frequency nationwide.
Winson is an English patronymic surname turned given name, formed from the medieval name Win (short for names beginning with Win-, such as Wine, from Old English 'wine' meaning friend) and the suffix -son. It has been used as a first name since at least the early 20th century, with records dating to 1914. Its usage has remained rare and relatively stable.
