Carson
Western scout's surname
Carson is a surname of Scottish origin that has become popular as a given name, especially for boys.
It gained visibility through figures like frontier scout Kit Carson and television host Johnny Carson.
The name suggests rugged American masculinity, though it's now used for children of any background: Carson started kindergarten this fall.
