Maison: 98 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 15 births in 2012.
For parents seeking a name with a touch of French elegance, Maison directly takes its form from the French word for 'house' or 'home', evoking warmth and shelter. It also works as a modern spelling variant of the occupational name Mason, which has deeper roots in English and Scottish history. While no widely known famous bearers come to the fore, the word itself appears in French place names such as Maisons-Laffitte, sharing that same etymological origin. Notably, Maison has seen occasional use in Scotland as part of the contemporary trend for word names, offering a fresh, stylish alternative to the more traditional Mason without losing its solid, grounded feel.
