Margesson Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from the name of an ancestor. 'the son of Margaret,' from the popular pet form Margery. Careless pronunciation has in course of time brought about the corrupted forms; v. Margery.
Robert Marjorison, 1379: Poll Tax of Yorkshire.
Richard Marjorison, 1379: ibid.
Roger Margeryson, 1379: ibid.
1619. Griffin Margison and Anstis Hall: Marriage Lic. (Westminster).
1716. Baptised — Elenor, d. Richard Margeson: St. Peter, Cornhill.

Apparently a corruption of Margerison, the son of Margaret; but the Margessons of Offington, co. Sussex, are otherwise deduced, namely from Argenson, a French family. John D'Argenson, living in 1449, had two sons, one of whom fought at the battle of Pavia, in 1524, and the other, Peter D'Argenson, was founder of the English branch. So says B.L.G.; and it is added, that the Margetsons of Yorkshire sprang from that personage, which may well admit of question, for certainly D'Argenson and Margetson are not much alike.
