Taysom is a rare surname of uncertain origin that became a first name in the United States almost entirely because of Taysom Hill, the Idaho-born quarterback who starred at BYU and then became a do-everything player for the New Orleans Saints; the name itself is best described simply as a "surname" name. Its chart follows his career: Taysom was almost unused before 2018, jumped from number 5085 to number 1973 in 2019 as Hill broke through, peaked at number 1501 in 2021 and ranks number 2446 in 2025 with 56 boys.
