Jaxson

Jaxson is a modern English given name functioning as a phonetic respelling of Jackson, which originated as an English surname meaning son of Jack. Jack itself is a medieval diminutive of John, derived from the Latin Iohannes and ultimately from the Hebrew name Yohanan, meaning God is gracious. The spelling with x gained popularity in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, likely influenced by the trend toward distinctive or unconventional spellings in English-speaking countries. Related forms include Jackson, Jaxon, and the ancestral name John.
