Amerson is an uncommon given name, derived from the Middle English surname 'Heremon', which was originally a personal name of Old French origin, meaning 'from the sea'. It is likely that Amerson was adopted as a given name due to its association with the surname, rather than directly from the Old French personal name. The name is not particularly associated with any specific region or culture, and its usage has been quite limited throughout history.
The name Amerson was given to five babies in 2016, with no previous recorded births under this spelling.
