Jason is a common given name for a male. It comes from Greek origin, meaning "healer" (from iasthai - to heal). It also appears in the Hebrew Bible and in this instance may represent a variant of Joshua. It was adopted as an English name in the 17th Century. A feminine form of the name is Jacin, derived from the Spanish name Jacinta, or the Americanized version Jacinda - meaning Hyacinth. Jason is the common spelling; however, variants that are usually pronounced the same in English include:
- Jacen
- Jaisen
- Jaison
- Jasen
- Jasin
- Jaysun
- Jaycen
- Jaysen
- Jaysin
- Jayson
The name Jason makes up the first letters (in English) of the sequential months from July to November. (JFMAMJJASOND)
