Meaning of Cason
I have a coworker (male) at work with this name, and I am beginning to love it. BTN has it listed as the 798 most popular name in the US of 2004. If its that popular, there should be some history behind it right? Does anyone know the meaning?~~Kris~~

Cason is an English surname that comes from a local dialect pronunciation of Cawston, a town in Norfolk, England whose name means “Kalfr’s homestead.” American parents have recently discovered Cason as a name that fits in with the modern vogue for similar sounding names like Caden and Mason. Cason J. Callaway (1894-1961) was the founder of Callaway Gardens, the famous botanical gardens and nature preserve in Georgia.
