Khyson is a modern American variant of Kyson, a recent coinage that combines the sound of Ky and Kai with the -son ending of Mason and Grayson; it is usually read as "son of Ky". The Kh- spelling, as in Khalil and Khai, gives it a distinctive look. Khyson rose from number 7329 in 2015 to number 1475 in 2023, its best rank, and stands at number 2371 among boys' names in 2025.
