Garrison is a masculine name with several different meanings, one of which being “troops stationed at a fort” to the French. It is a variant spelling of Garrison, which was originally a patronymic surname used in England to label someone as being the son of Gerard or Gerald, and translating to “brave spear” or “ruler with the spear.” This name is a unique alternative to the similar-sounding Harrison, providing a modern and increasingly popular name. Much like troops stationed at a fort, Garrisson is sure to protect whatever they hold dear.
