Where the name comes from

Grayson is an English surname meaning "son of Gray" or, in one strand, "son of the grieve" (Old French: reeve, steward). Either way, the second element is either a colour or a job - the job reading is the one that lends itself to a meaning.

Grayson in the Bible

No Grayson in the Bible, but stewardship is one of its recurring words. Joseph in Egypt is a steward. The manager in Jesus's parables is a steward. Every believer is called "a good steward of the manifold grace of God" (1 Peter 4:10).

A blessing for Grayson

Grayson, may you be a good steward: of the people who trust you, of what you have been given, of the years God adds to your life.
