Meanings and history of the name Payson

The name comes from Payson, AZ. When her mother was pregnant she was doing phone work. A customer called in from Payson, AZ. Everything on her monitor blurred out and went into the background with the exception of Payson.

For us, Payson, is a family name originating from old English in the late 1800s.

Pays means country in French, so we thought of it as a name for someone who lives in the country, which we liked. I've also read that Pays means peace, which I also really like.
