Our top pick is 芽衣尊 (Meison). 芽 means “sprout”, 衣 means “garment” and 尊 means “noble”. Other good options are 芽衣礎 (Meiso) and 明尊 (Meison).
Is 芽衣尊 a real Japanese name?
Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 芽衣尊 is a creative kanji spelling (called ateji), chosen for its sounds and meanings. Japanese readers will understand what each character means, and many will enjoy the idea behind it.

芽衣尊 has 26 strokes in total (芽: 8, 衣: 6, 尊: 12). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 芽衣尊 has a positive meaning, so it is a reasonable choice. Keep in mind that Japanese people will read it as the meaning of the characters, not instantly as “Mason”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (メイソン) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
