Chaisson is a rare and distinctive given name of French origin, meaning "from Châlon-sur-Saône," a city located in Burgundy, France. It's a variant of the surname Chaisson, which was likely derived from a place name or an occupational surname relating to a miller or maker of chattels. The name first appeared as a given name in the late 19th century but has remained relatively uncommon throughout its history. Chaisson is often associated with the French-Canadian community due to its presence among early settlers in Canada, particularly in Quebec and Louisiana. Today, it's still primarily found in these regions as well as in France, where it continues to be an uncommon yet charming choice for parents seeking a unique name for their child.
By 2002, the name Chaisson was still quite uncommon, with only five newborns sharing it that year.
