Jaison is a contemporary English variant of the ancient Greek name Iason, derived from the verb iasthai (“to heal”), and historically borne by the mythic leader of the Argonauts. It also appears in New Testament texts, lending it an early Christian dimension alongside its classical pedigree. In the United States, Jaison has exhibited modest but consistent usage over recent decades—peaking at rank 633 in 1980 and fluctuating within the 800–900 range in the twenty-first century, most recently recording 14 newborns (rank 910) in 2024. This analytical profile highlights its appeal to parents who value a name with both historical depth and phonetic precision (pronounced JAY-sun, /ˈdʒeɪsn/), offering a familiar yet distinct choice within Anglo-American naming conventions.
