Jashon
Meaning of Jashon
Jashon, a male given name that constitutes a modern orthographic variant of Jason—which itself originates from the Greek Iásōn, meaning “healer”—occupies a distinct niche within Anglo-American anthroponymy. An analytical review of United States birth-record data from 1976 through 2024 demonstrates that Jashon has sustained a modest yet consistent presence, with annual occurrences ranging from 5 to 64 and national rank largely confined to the 800–900 interval since the early 2000s; this statistical profile underscores the name’s dual character as both a nod to classical heritage and an inventive departure from its more prevalent counterpart. Phonologically, Jashon adheres to a bisyllabic schema (/ˈdʒeɪʃən/) in both British and American English, ensuring uniform pronunciation across dialects. The resulting onomastic construct conveys an equilibrium between mythic resonance and contemporary creativity, appealing to those who favor names that blend historical gravitas with individual distinction.
