Wilsone

Wilsone is primarily encountered as a surname and is usually regarded as an archaic or rare variant of Wilson, a patronymic name meaning “son of Will/William.” The form Wilsone appears in historical records where spelling was less standardized and final -e endings were sometimes used for distinction or stylistic reasons.

Etymology and origins often link Wilsone to the given name William, with the suffix -son indicating a lineage or "son of" relationship. Variants with similar meanings—such as Wilson, Willson, and Willson—share the same root, and Wilsone is understood to belong to that family of spellings.

Distribution and usage tend to be limited to historical or genealogical contexts. Modern usage of Wilsone is rare, and many contemporary references standardize the surname to Wilson. In archival research, individuals bearing the spelling Wilsone may appear in parish registers, census records, or legal documents alongside more common variants, reflecting regional spelling practices rather than a distinct lineage.

There are no widely recognized places, organizations, or cultural meanings associated specifically with the name Wilsone. In onomastic studies, Wilsone is treated as a variant spelling of Wilson rather than a separate name, with the underlying meaning and origin tied to the same patronymic roots.
