The Jonzon Family Name

Jonzon is best understood together with Jonson: both are English and Scottish spellings of a single family name. Taken at its root, Jonzon points to “Son of John”.

Jonzon writes “z” in place of the “s” found in Jonson, a typical scribal difference. Census takers and immigration officers often wrote what they heard. The same family of names includes Jönsson.

Names that sound alike, such as Johnson, are easily confused in old records.
