Origin
Meaning and history of Bexon
The name Bexon is of uncertain origin, though it is believed to derive from an ancient Germanic root word meaning "bright" or "shining." The earliest recorded use of the name dates back to the 8th century, where it appears in the records of a monastery in what is now southern Germany.
In the Middle Ages, the name Bexon gained some popularity among noble families in parts of present-day France and the Low Countries. One notable bearer of the name was Bexon de Montfort, a knight who fought in the Third Crusade alongside Richard the Lionheart in the late 12th century.
While relatively uncommon, the name Bexon continued to be used sporadically throughout the following centuries. Bexon Peverell, an English landowner and minor noble, is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. Several centuries later, Bexon Cuthbert (1564-1632) was a respected scholar and theologian who served as chaplain to King James I of England.
In the 19th century, the name saw a brief resurgence in parts of Europe, particularly in Germany and the Netherlands. Bexon Hausmann (1784-1859) was a prominent German philosopher and educator, while Bexon van der Linden (1837-1912) was a Dutch politician and statesman who served as Prime Minister of the Netherlands from 1891 to 1894.
Another notable figure with the name Bexon was the American musician and composer Bexon Porter (1892-1971), who was a pioneer of ragtime and early jazz music in the early 20th century.
While still relatively uncommon today, the name Bexon has a long and varied history, with bearers of the name appearing in various contexts throughout the centuries in different parts of Europe and beyond.

FAQ
Bexon: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Bexon?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 6 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Bexon going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 57,125,723 US residents.
Is Bexon a common name?
We classify Bexon as "Very Rare". It ranks above 22.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 6 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Bexon most popular?
The single biggest year for Bexon was 2020, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Bexon is about 6 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Bexon in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Bexon a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Bexon in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Bexon still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Bexon in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Bexon can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
