Jason
Jason comes from the Greek "Iasōn," meaning "healer" — derived from "iaomai" (to heal). In Greek mythology, Jason was the hero who led the Argonauts to find the Golden Fleece. He married the sorceress Medea, who helped him but later killed their children when he abandoned her. The name has been used since antiquity. Jason was the #3 boy name in the US from 1972 to 1981, behind only Michael and Christopher. The peak was so concentrated that Jason now reads as definitively 1970s. Jason (the actor Jason Statham, born 1967, known for action films) gave the name a contemporary charge. Jason (the actor Jason Bateman, born 1969, known for "Arrested Development" and "Ozark") extended the name's cultural reach. I find Jason has a brisk, slightly 70s quality — the "J" opening is firm, and the "son" ending gives it a slight masculine echo. The name has been outside the US top 100 since 2014. Jason is a male name of Greek origin that means "Healer (from "iaomai")". Brisk, 70s, and approachable. The name sounds friendly. Jasons tend to be social. US #3 from 1972-1981. Now top 100. Well-known people named Jason include Jason (Greek hero), Jason Statham (actor), Jason Bateman (actor), Jason (Greek name). Common variations and related forms of Jason include Iason (Greek original), Jaison (variant), Jayson (variant), Jay (nickname).
