"Son of the steward"

From Modern American

Greyson means son of the steward — the same name as Grayson but with an E that changes nothing about the sound and everything about the look. The E-spelling feels slightly cooler, slightly more modern, like the difference between grey and gray. Dick Grayson is still Robin. The steward's son still rises. But the E gives it a visual edge on paper.
