How to Pronounce Jamason
Pronounced JAY-muh-suhn /ˈdʒeɪ.mə.sən/Medium
Meaning: Jamason is a contemporary respelling of Jameson, a surname meaning 'son of James.' James itself descends from Jacob, from the Hebrew Ya'aqov, tied to the idea of the heel or 'supplanter.' The -ason spelling also nods to the popular name Mason, so many parents hear it as a Ja- plus Mason blend. Either way it is a modern surname-style boy's name.Low

History & Origin
Jamason is a twenty-first-century-feeling respelling of Jameson, the surname built from James plus -son, 'son of James.' Trace it back and James is a form of Jacob, from the Hebrew for 'supplanter,' so the name folds an ancient root into a very modern shape. The fashionable rise of Mason also colors it, and plenty of families read Jamason as a Ja- prefix fused onto Mason.
It never caught on widely, sitting at about fifteen boys a year at its best in the early twenty-tens and scattered through the records from the nineteen-seventies onward. A Jamason born at its peak is still a child or teenager, marking this clearly as a current, surname-driven coinage rather than a name with any vintage history.
