Jackson

"Son of Jack" — a name of American spirit, rock-and-roll cool, and rugged confidence

Jackson is an English patronymic surname meaning 'son of Jack'. Jack itself is a medieval nickname for John, from the Hebrew Yochanan meaning 'God is gracious'. As a first name, Jackson carries distinctly American energy — linked to the seventh president (who gave his name to an era), the legendary guitarist Michael Jackson, and the city of Jackson, Mississippi. It has a rugged, confident sound that feels simultaneously classic and cool. The -son ending gives it a grounded, solid quality.
