Parsons is a surname of English origin that has occasionally been adopted as a given name. Derived from the word 'parson,' it originally referred to someone who was the son of a parish priest or someone who worked for the parson. As a first name, Parsons is quite uncommon and has never ranked among popular baby names in the United States or United Kingdom.
