The name means "Son of the marsh-dwellers, a modern K-spelling of Carson, a Scottish and northern English surname thought to come from a family living by boggy, low-lying ground. The reshaped vowels turn an old occupational and territorial surname into a fresh given name, part of a wider taste for surname-style first names." and belongs to the Nature cluster — names drawn from the natural world — earth, water, sky.
