Jace
Jace began as a short form of Jason, from the Greek "Iasōn" — meaning "healer." Jace entered the US top 1000 in 1994 and peaked at #66 in 2013. The driver was the character Jace Wayland in the "Mortal Instruments" series by Cassandra Clare (2004-2014) and the broader trend toward short, modern names. The single syllable is direct, and the "J" opening is firm. Jace is a male name of Greek origin that means "Healer (short form of Jason)". Brisk, modern, and a little edgy. The name sounds confident. Jaces tend to be outgoing. US peaked #66 in 2013. Now top 100. Well-known people named Jace include Jace (short form of Jason), Jace (fictional, various), Jace (Greek root).
