Reason

Reason is more commonly a boy's name with English origins. Though the name Reason is both a boy's name and a girl's last name. Old French roots can be found in the surname Reason. It comes from the Old French word 'Raison'. The meaning of Reason is 'the power of reason'; hence it was probably first used as a nickname for an intelligent individual. The origin of the surname Reason can be traced back to Lincolnshire, where the bishop of Bayeux had family seats at Market, Middle, and West Rasen. Supposedly, the Reason family is descended from Alfred of Lincoln, a Norman noble who held the undertenant holding from the bishop. The Battle of Hastings in 1066 resulted in a reduction in the Saxon influence on English history. French was the court's official language for the following three centuries, and a Norman atmosphere predominated. The family name was first mentioned in 1202 when Robert de Rasene owned properties in Lincolnshire, but Saxon surnames continued to be used. No surnames had any kind of consistency before the English dictionary and the printing press. Among the various variations of Reason were Rasen, Rason, Rayson, Reasons, Reeson, Resen, and Rasne.
