About the Name Mason
Mason ranked #77 in 2025, down from its peak of #27 in 2013 — still a familiar name, but past its high point. The name has been a consistent presence in UK records since 1996. It has spent 27 of the last 30 years inside the UK top 100 — a mark of enduring mainstream appeal.
The name carries English/French roots, where it means "Stone worker". Names with strong etymological stories tend to age well — they carry weight beyond fashion cycles.
Mason is a very popular name in the UK — yet a class of 28 is small enough that your child will very likely be the only Mason on the register.
In the US it ranks even higher at #42, where it enjoys a particularly strong following.
