My Kelson family lived in Magna, Utah. My Father has traced his line to Ireland and England. I have a Grandson named Kelson. It is becoming a popular first name.

I have been also looking for more information regarding the origins of the name Kelson. I was as well always under the impression that there were very few Kelson’s. I enjoy the fact that there seems to be more than I thought.

Kjeldsen was the orriginal spelling of our family name – orriginating from Denmark. My father was christened with this orriginal spelling, and around 1916 the name was changed to the current spelling- Kelson. All of the family lived in Epharim Utah, and went with the name change. I was very surprised to see the number of individuals on this web site with the spelling Kelson. We always thought that anyone with the Kelson spelling were our relatives. Now I think my dad was just incorrect about the individuality of the spelling. Unless of course I have a bigger family than we know about.

The name Kelson originates from Son of a Celt. The ancient inhabitants of Britain.

The Kelson family line goes back thousands of years on these Isles.

Unfortunately I can’t help you much with the origin of the name. My parents got it from a series of fantasy novels set in an alternate 12th-century England.

There is a nautical term, spelled variously kelson or keelson, which is part of a ship, and at one point I did find a suggestion that the name might have come into use in connection with shipbuilding, but that’s all I’ve found. It has been a while since I looked, though.
