all the new little masons

I was just reading what the most popular names were for newborn babies in Minnesota last year:  for girls, Emma; for boys, Mason.  Yeah, Emma is a nice name, but where is the name Mason coming from?  I realize that, for some reason, parents these days are prone to name kids last names for first names, but I wonder why Mason?  Can anybody tell me?

(Having the last name Dixon, I'm glad that neither son of mine is named Mason)

This name has gotten popular quickly over the last couple years. This is likely why http://www.showbizspy.com/article/197053/kourtney-kardashian-explains-her-babys-name.html
