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.
