Today, Jason is one of the most common baby names (popularity 94/100).

It is less common today than at its historical peak.

The name Jason originates from the Greek name 'Iason' (Ἰάσων), derived from the verb 'iaomai' (ἰάομαι), meaning 'to heal.' In Greek mythology, Jason was the leader of the Argonauts, who embarked on a quest for the Golden Fleece. The name gained prominence in English-speaking countries during the 20th century and remains a classic choice due to its historical and cultural significance. Its enduring popularity is also attributed to its simplicity and international appeal.
