      The name Janison has its origins in the United States and can be traced back to the combination of the English name prefix Jan and the common English given name Son. the name prefix Jan is derived from the given name Jane, which is of Hebrew origin and means God is gracious. When combined with the word son, it creates the meaning Son of Jane.

      In terms of historical usage, the name Janison has had a relatively limited presence. It emerged as a unique name in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

However, it has not gained widespread recognition or historical significance.
