English: status name or nickname from Middle English persone, persoun ‘priest, parson’ (Old French persone). The status of medieval bearers of the surname is uncertain. Priests were generally known by a habitational name rather than by a surname denoting their role in the church. They were not allowed to marry, but doubtless many had illegitimate children, some of whom may have been given Parson as a surname. Some of the original bearers may have been given it as a nickname (compare Priest , Bishop , Monk ) or it may have been an occupational name for someone who worked for the parson (a shortened form of Personesservaunt perhaps).
