Hello,
I think I would agree with the last post about your 1st name, it appears to be a derivation of Aisha.
As for your last name, virtually all last names ending in son, come from an ancestral parent. For example, in your case, you will have an ancestor that was named Carl, and his son was given the latter name Carlson (son of Carl)
I'm not sure where this kind of parent-name borrowing originated or is most common though.
