Grayson is a surname that is most probably either an anglicization of the Scottish or Irish clan surnames Grierson or Gray; alternatively, it can also be found in Northern England as a derivative of the English surname Gravesson, meaning "son of the reeve". It has been postulated as a Clan Gregor alias, but there is little surviving information to support this claim.Black, The Surnames of Scotland: Their Origin, Meaning, and History
