ëson

Ëson is a masculine given name used in Albanian-speaking communities. The name is written with the letter ë, a distinct Albanian vowel, and its orthography signals phonological distinctions that are characteristic of Albanian names.

Geographic and cultural usage: The name is most commonly found in Albania and among Albanian-speaking populations in neighboring regions and diaspora communities. It is typically treated as a contemporary given name rather than a historic or traditional form.

Pronunciation: In Albanian, ë represents a mid front vowel; precise pronunciation can vary by dialect. A common approximate rendering in English-language contexts is something like “EH-son,” with the emphasis on the first syllable.

Etymology and meaning: The exact origin and meaning of ëson are not universally established in widely available reference sources. It is often described as a modern Albanian given name, potentially arising within Albanian naming practices rather than from a clearly documented older root. As such, its meaning may be interpreted more from cultural and linguistic context than from a single, agreed-upon derivation.

Notable occurrences: There are no widely cited encyclopedic entries for individuals named ëson, and no well-known places or institutions by this name are recorded in standard reference works.
