The story
Kason is the K-census meeting the -son squad once more, our records reading it as a variant of Cason, and the family files in order: Kayson, the y-spelling, about 15,500 with its own story here; Kason at about 15,000, nearly all boys, about 14,900 to 50; Cason, the C-original, about 11,400 in the data; and Kasen, about 11,500, beside them. The record is young and steep: about 490 in the 1990s, 2,500 in the 2000s, cresting at 7,900 in the 2010s, with 3,800 so far this decade. The workshop keeps producing because the parts keep working: a deliberate K, a familiar -son, and a sound that lands as both fresh and old. One music, a family of spellings, and the ledger charting each on its own line, exactly as kayson's own page tells it.

In South Australia, 1 boy was registered as Kason in 2017.
The count never rose above 1 in a year, too few to chart.
Births registered in South Australia (not all of Australia) by first name and year of registration, 1944–2017, from the state’s Births, Deaths and Marriages registry, which publishes every name down to a single birth in capitals; a spelling its export repeats inside a year is counted once, and from 2018 only a top 100 is published, so the series ends at 2017.

Not on the record in Spain, Mexico City, Argentina, Puerto Rico, New Zealand and Poland: those registries withhold small counts, so rare uses may sit below their floors.
Not on the Chile record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 5 registrations in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on the Montevideo record for 1940 to 2011: that registry withholds nothing, so this spelling was not given there in those years. Not on the France record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 20 births in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on the Austria record for 1984 to 2025: Statistik Austria publishes every first name down to a single birth, so this name was not given there in those years (before 2010 the record covers babies with Austrian citizenship only). Not on Norway’s list: Statistics Norway lists only first names carried by 200 or more living people, so rarer names are not shown.
